Activation of error handling

The DATA-ERROR-HANDLING operand is used to specify whether error handling in data records should be activated if an error situation occurs.

The default setting is *YES, which means that error handling will be activated if a procedure reads data where commands are expected, or if expression replacement in data cannot be resolved.

If the setting is *NO, no error handling will be activated in such cases. The setting *NO is compatible with the spin-off behavior of non-S procedures.This facilitates the conversion of non-S procedures into S procedures.
