Description

The SET ASSERTS command is used to enable or disable the display of assert message dialogs. Assert messages are used for program debugging purposes. The ASSERT command checks a specified condition and displays a message dialog if the condition evaluates to False (.F.). The dialog provides options to Debug, Cancel, Ignore and Ignore All.

When SET ASSERTS is ON, the display of assert message dialogs is enabled. When SET ASSERTS is OFF, the display of assert message dialogs is disabled. By default, SET ASSERTS is OFF.

Example

set asserts on
parameters para1, para2, para3
assert pcount() = 3 message [3 parameters required]
// code continues
return
