Re: Warnings exceed limit

[Frans Houweling]

Hi Ben,
GET DATA on csv files is the main source, like when missing values are 
coded "NA" or ":".
Plus I do make the ehm occasional mistake - but as what I do wrong in 
the first record I do wrong in all the following records too, I always 
reach MXWARNS. I can see some justification for halting in the case of 
vector index out of bounds, but other errors like divide by zero cause 
no harm at all, like the GET DATA case.
So if I could decide, I would vote for continue syntax processing.
Thanks
frans
