VMS Help SET, HOST, /DTE, Qualifiers, /ERROR_ACTION  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

       /ERROR_ACTION=CONTINUE (default)
       /ERROR_ACTION=EXIT

    Specifies the error action by using the EXIT or the CONTINUE
    keyword.

    When an error is detected on the outgoing terminal line, the
    error is reported to the local system and an error message is
    displayed on your terminal.

    If the error action is CONTINUE, then communication with the
    remote system continues uninterrupted.

    If the error action is EXIT, then the local system immediately
    exits from the remote system.
