MXERRS Subcommand (SET command)

MXERRS controls the maximum number of errors that are allowed in a session. The default is 100.

  • MXERRS applies only to command files that are submitted for execution through IBM® SPSS® Statistics Batch Facility (available with IBM SPSS Statistics Server).
  • Eligible errors are errors that stop execution of a command but continue the session.
  • When the MXERRS limit is exceeded, IBM SPSS Statistics stops processing commands but continues to scan for additional errors.
  • In interactive mode or in IBM SPSS Statistics and other windowed environments, MXERRS does not apply.
