[petsc-users] option values problem

[Kathrin Burckhardt]

Hi petsc people,

how can I check if the value to a specific option is valid before getting an error?

E.g., if the option string contains 'options_table 2' I get

[ERROR]: --------------------- Error Message ------------------------------------
[ERROR]: [0]PETSC ERROR: 
[INFO]: Invalid argument!
[ERROR]: [0]PETSC ERROR: 
[INFO]: Unknown logical value: 2!

Thank you in advance for your help,
Kathrin
