DESCRIPTION
Several errors can occur when you try to read a data file into memory using the READ command. The file may not exist or it may exist but can't be read. When SAC encounters one of these bad files, it normally sends a warning message and then tries to read the rest of the files in the filelist. If you want SAC to stop reading in files whenever a bad file is encountered set the BADFILE condition to FATAL. If you don't even want to see the warning message, set the BADFILE condition to IGNORE.
If none of the files in the filelist could be read, SAC normally sends an error message and stops processing. If you want SAC to send a warning message or ignore this problem completely, set the NOFILES condition accordingly. Also, any files previously in memory can be deleted (removed from) or remain in memory by using the MEMORY DELETE or MEMORY SAVE options. The CUTERR command can be used to control certain errors that occur due to bad cut parameters.
