Strict - Report an error if any unexpeted data items are found?

Description:
This is a boolean attribute which indicates whether a warning rather than an error should be issed for insignificant conversion problems. If it is set non-zero, then fatal errors are issued instead of warnings, resulting in the inherited STATUS variable being set to an error value. If Strict is zero (the default), then execution continues after minor conversion problems, and a warning message is added to the Channel structure. Such messages can be retrieved using the AST_WARNINGS function.
Type:
Integer (boolean).
Class Applicability:
Channel
All Channels have this attribute.
Notes:
  • This attribute was introduced in AST version 5.0. Prior to this version of AST unexpected data items read by a basic Channel always caused an error to be reported. So applications linked against versions of AST prior to version 5.0 may not be able to read Object descriptions created by later versions of AST, if the Object's class description has changed.
