Sid,
maxwarntologfile controls (as the name suggests) the warnings in the log file. maxwarn controls the warnings to the screen.
In ADE, when you look at the output file, that's a log file. So it would be the log file one you want.
The .cdsenv settings are:
Code:spectre.opts maxwarnstologfile string "1000"
spectre.opts maxwarns string "1000"
Regards,
Andrew.
