VMS Help MMS, Qualifiers, /IGNORE  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    /IGNORE[=options]
    /NOIGNORE (D)

    Directs MMS to specify the severity levels of errors that MMS
    normally ignores when it executes action lines. The parameters
    correspond to the DCL severity levels W, E, and F. The /NOIGNORE
    qualifier directs MMS to abort execution when it finds an error.
    These qualifiers affect the execution of action lines but not the
    behavior of MMS.

    The options field can contain the keyword WARNING, ERROR, or
    FATAL. WARNING directs MMS to ignore W errors and continue
    processing, but to abort execution if it finds an E or F error.
    If you specify the /IGNORE qualifier without parameters, WARNING
    is the default. ERROR directs MMS to ignore both W and E errors,
    but to abort execution if it finds an F error. FATAL directs MMS
    to ignore all errors, and to continue processing the description
    file. This parameter is equivalent to the .IGNORE directive.

    When you specify the /IGNORE qualifier, the errors that MMS
    ignores are those generated by the execution of action lines.
    The only fatal errors MMS will not ignore are syntax errors.
    The /IGNORE qualifier does not stop MMS error messages from
    being generated or displayed. Informational messages are always
    displayed, regardless of whether you use the /IGNORE qualifier.

                                   NOTE

       Take caution when executing MMS with the /IGNORE qualifier;
       if errors occur during processing, the target might be
       updated but still contain errors of which you will not be
       aware.

    The .IGNORE directive and the Ignore action line prefix are
    similar to the /IGNORE=FATAL qualifier. However, instead of
    typing them on the command line, you include them in the
    description file.

    To override the .IGNORE directive contained in a description
    file, type the /IGNORE[=WARNING], /IGNORE=ERROR, or /IGNORE=FATAL
    qualifier explicitly on the MMS command line. You cannot override
    the Ignore action-line prefix on the MMS command line.
