── IGNORE ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤

(Type: Boolean; Default: FALSE)

The IGNORE option is used to override certain error situations. If an error in a MAKEUSER command or statement is detected, the MAKEUSER run usually continues, but the questionable command or statement is not processed.

If the value of IGNORE is TRUE, MAKEUSER rejects the statement in which the error occurred but processes the next correct MAKEUSER command or statement and continues the run normally.

If the value of the IGNORE option is FALSE, the value of the SYNTAX option is implicitly TRUE. After any error occurs, MAKEUSER continues to accept input and check it for syntax, but makes no more changes to the *SYSTEM/USERDATAFILE.

The default setting, FALSE, is safer, because a syntax error can have wider effects than are apparent. For example, a syntax error in the entry of one USER segment might adversely affect other USER segments.
