NAME

       pvm_serror - Sets automatic error message printing on or off.
       [In Version 3.2: Replaced by pvm_setopt]

SYNOPSIS

       C    int oldset = pvm_serror( int set )

       Fortran   call pvmfserror( set, oldset )

PARAMETERS

       set     Integer defining whether detection is to be turned on (1) or off (0).

       oldset  Integer defining the previous setting of pvm_serror.

DESCRIPTION

       The  routine pvm_serror sets automatic error message printing for all subsequent PVM calls
       by this process. Any PVM routines that return an error condition will automatically  print
       the  associated  error  message.  The argument set defines whether this detection is to be
       turned on (1) or turned off (0) for subsequent calls.  In the future a value of  (2)  will
       cause  the  program  to  exit  after  printing  the error message.  pvm_serror returns the
       previous value of set in oldset.

       All stdout and stderr messages are placed in the file /tmp/pvml.<uid> on the master pvmd's
       host.

EXAMPLES

       C:
            info = pvm_serror( 1 );
       Fortran:
            CALL PVMFSERROR( 0, INFO )

ERRORS

       This error condition can be returned by pvm_serror

       PvmBadParam
              giving an invalid set value.
