Failure circumstances

During startup
|
The system displays an error message and returns to the operating system prompt.
|
During a CONNECT statement
|
The system aborts the remainder of the CONNECT statement (as though the remainder never existed) and a run-time error condition occurs. Any connections you made previous to the failed connection remain in effect. You can use the NO-ERROR modifier with the CONNECT statement to trap run-time errors. If you use the NO-ERROR modifier and it fails, you see the same failure behavior as you do with an unsuccessful CONNECT statement. However, run-time error conditions do not occur.
|
During an attempted auto-connect
|
The system aborts the remainder of the connect (as though the remainder never existed) and a run-time error condition occurs. Any connections you made previous to the failed connection remain in effect. There is no way to trap auto-connect run-time error conditions.
