Sets the status of the DISCUS prompt. The default is "on", i.e. DISCUS prompts for the next command by writing "discus > ". You can turn this prompt off. This is useful, if you are running a long macro and do not want to get all the prompts written into the output. By using this option you can considerably shorten the output written by DISCUS into a redirected log file. If you are using DISCUS on a UNIX platform, you can start the program with redirected input by the command:
"discus < inputfile"
By default, DISCUS will write the prompt "discus >" into the outputfile, expecting a RETURN from the keyboard. Very long lines in the output file will result. To avoid this situation insert the line "set output,redirect" as first line in the inputfile to force discus to echo the lines from file inputfile. set error , {"cont" | "exit" }
Sets the error status.
"cont" DISCUS returns the normal prompt after the display of the error message. You can continue the input of commands. "exit" DISCUS terminates after the display of the error message. This option is useful if you run DISCUS in the batch mode of your operating system. Instead of continuing with a faulty calculation DISCUS stops and you can immediately check the error.
