RE: Ignoring error messages in SQL scripts

Alan,

There is nothing in the SQL itself but you can change the ERRLVL parameter on the RUNSQLSTM. However that will stop throwing an error if your create view errors out.

Subject: Ignoring error messages in SQL scripts

Good morning all
I have an SQL script run by the command
RUNSQLSTM SRCFILE(libname/QSQLSRC) SRCMBR(MBRNAME)
Within the script MBRNAME I have

DROP VIEW library/viewname

Followed by

Create view library/viewname
Etc.

In this particular instance the view library/viewname had already been dropped, so my RUNSQLSTM failed on the drop
My question is
I knew why the view wasn't there, so I wasn't bothered about the drop in the SQL script, so how would I ignore such an error?
Is there the equivalent to a MONMSG within SQL scripts?
Is there a reference manual that I could read regarding SQL scripts

As always, any and all responses MUCH appreciated
