FATAL changes the severity of any Teradata ARC error to FATAL, exit code = 12. For instance, if ARC0802 is specified as a fatal error, Teradata ARC immediately exits at ARC0802.

In the next example, if an ARC0802 I/O error or ARC1218 warning message occurs, FATAL allows the immediate termination of Teradata ARC rather than having the program run to completion. Either normally nonfatal error condition is interpreted as fatal, and the program terminates:

ARCMAIN FATAL=(802,1218)

The FATAL option allows stopping the job immediately when one copy of the dump fails. This ensures quick recovery action when only one good copy exists of the archive dump.

ARC1218 warns that a problem table will be skipped and the next table processed. If immediate termination is preferable to continuing, the FATAL parameter is invoked.

Delimiters, such as =, are mandatory.

Please see Teradata ARC Return Codes for a list of the Teradata ARC error codes with their default severity levels.
