Description
The SET TALK ON command can be used to assist in program debugging. If SET TALK is ON, then the result of certain commands will be echoed to the screen. Certain commands which may take a long time, such as PACK, INDEX, REINDEX etc. count on the screen to inform you of their progress. If TALK is OFF, this counting is disabled. The SET ODOMETER command can be used in conjunction with the SET TALK command to adjust the rate at which the counter is updated. By default, TALK is ON.
Example
set talk on i = 10 10 set talk off i = 10 set talk on set odometer to 10 use patrons index on event to events Indexing complete, 2400 records indexed.
