We consider the finite-element approximation of a distributed optimal control problem governed by a semilinear elliptic partial differential equation, where pointwise constraints on the control are given. We prove the existence of local approximate solutions converging to a given local reference solution. Moreover, we derive error estimates for local solutions in the maximum norm.
