Use
This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK. Pressing
Break
has no effect on this command. It may be used by any user to determine the location of the
console. To change the location of the console, this command must be issued from the
console itself, unless distributed to users with the ALLOW command, or the user must have
system manager (SM) capability.
Examples
To determine the current location of the system console, enter:
CONSOLE
CONSOLE IS CURRENTLY ASSIGNED TO LDEV 20
To transfer the console to the terminal identified by MPE/iX as logical device 31, enter:
CONSOLE 31
CONSOLE HAS BEEN SWITCHED FROM LDEV 20 TO LDEV 31
CONTINUE
Overrides a job error so that the job or user command (command file or UDC) continues
executing. (Native Mode)
Syntax
CONTINUE
Parameters
None.
Operation Notes
The CONTINUE command permits a job or session to continue even though the command
immediately following the CONTINUE command results in an error (with an accompanying
error message). It is not needed in a session, because sessions do not terminate when a
command error occurs. The CONTINUE command is typically used in the line preceding any
command suspected of causing the job or user command to abort. If an error occurs, the job
or user command continues to run, and the error message is reported. The variable
CIERROR contains the error number.
The CONTINUE command protects only the next command. However, if the next command is
a user command (command file or UDC) and an error occurs anywhere within it, execution
resumes at the command following the user command. In effect, the CONTINUE command
treats a user command as a simple, indivisible command.
You may use the HPAUTOCONT variable to produce a global "continue." Refer to appendix A,
"Predefined Variables in MPE/iX."
