abtsev Shows the current abort severity or specifies the error level at which command file execution terminates. Format abtsev [-internal | -error] Description The DSEE facility recognizes two levels of errors: expected errors, which include such user errors as an incorrect specification for a branch name, or the specification of an nonexistent version; and unexpected (or internal) errors, which include problems beyond the DSEE facility's scope such as network failure. By default, either type of error aborts execution of a command file (a redirected input file). If the command file is nested within one or more other command files, an error aborts execution of all calling command files as well. (The default is akin to abtsev -error.) Abort severity is inherited. However, you can also embed abtsev commands within nested command files, changing the abort severity at different levels in the nesting. When a nested command file encounters an error beyond its abort severity, the DSEE facility stops executing the command file and returns to the calling command file. The calling command file's abort severity determines whether the error encountered by the called command file aborts the calling command file, also. Internal errors abort execution of all levels of command files in the nesting, because no level of abort severity negates internal errors' effects on command files. abtsev with no options shows you the current abort severity. Options: -internal Sets abort severity to recognize internal errors only. -error (D) Sets abort severity to recognize all errors.
