Syntax

SET OPTIONS

Switches

The following switches are available with the SET OPTIONS command.

COMMAND_DELAY=

The number of seconds (0–300 seconds) to wait between issuing commands when running a script using

the FILE command. The default is 10 seconds. This switch has no effect when you are typing commands

at the command line.

NOCOMMAND_DELAY

Speciﬁes that no wait time occurs between commands issued from within a FILE command.

DISPLAY_WIDTH=

Sets the amount of characters displayed on a line for LS commands. The default is 80. If the utility output

is to be parsed, it is useful to set a high line width. A long line keeps the lines from wrapping, m aking the

output easier to cut, paste, and parse. Line widths from 70 to 500 may be speciﬁed.

ON_ERROR=

• CONTINUE—In this mode, only the EXIT command causes the scripting utility to halt. This is the

default and is recommended when you are manually typing commands.

• EXIT_ON _ERROR— Any error causes the scripting utility to exit with an error code. This mode

is useful when requesting the entire script to h alt immediately if errors occur while executing a

script. This causes the scripting utility to exit on any kind of error: failed command, syntax error,

or ambiguous command.

• HALT_ON_ ERROR— This is sim ilar to EXIT_ON_ERROR. Any error causes the scripting utility to

halt but not exit until any key is pressed. Then the scripting utilit y exits with an error code. This

allows you to see the error before the window closes on exit.
