Description

The SET VERIFY command is used to enable or disable dialog box display upon execution of [ABANDON], [DELETE RECORD], [EXIT/SAVE], or [CARRY MODE] operations. If VERIFY is set ON, when a user presses a key to initiate an [ABANDON], [DELETE RECORD], [EXIT/SAVE] or [CARRY MODE] operation, a dialog box displays asking for confirmation of the operation. The dialog box contains a YES button and a NO button. The user may move the cursor to a YES or NO button and press [RETURN] to reply. Pressing the [ABANDON] key or selecting the NO button returns the user to the previous screen. Selecting the YES button continues the operation. By default, SET VERIFY is ON.
