VERIFY

3-111. Purpose.

The VERIFY command displays the EDIT/3000 options in effect.

3-112. Form.

The form of the VERIFY command is

   V[ERIFY] [  [AL[L] ] [,B[ATCH] ] [,DEL[TA] ] [,DE[PTH] ] [,D[ISPLAY] ] [,FLILES] ]

   [,FIX[ED] ] [,FO[RMAT] ] [,FR[OM] ] [,FRON[T] ] [,LE[FT] ] [,LEN[GTH] ] [,L[INES] ]

   [,LO[NG] ] [,P[OLL] ] [,Q[UIET] ] [,R[EAR] ] [,RI[GHT] ] [,SH[ORT] ] [,S[IZE] ]

   [,TABC[HAR] ] [,T[ABS] ] [,TI[MES] ] [,TO[TAL] ] [,V[ARIABLE] ]

3-113. Description.

The VERIFY command is used to display all the current EDIT/3000 options. Parameters may be added to the VERIFY command in any order but must be separated by commas. Parameters may be abbreviated to as few of their leading characters as needed to identify the parameters. Any abbreviation that includes characters beyond the required minimum will likewise be accepted. For example, you may abbreviate [,FORMAT] to [,FO], [,FOR], [,FORM], etc. All VERIFY parameters except FILES and TOTAL refer to those options which can be modified with a SET command (see paragraph 3-92). The FILES parameter causes EDIT/3000 to display all references to MPE/3000 files during the current EDIT/3000 cycle. The TOTAL parameter displays a count of the number of lines in the current WORK file (this count changes after an ADD, DELETE, INSERT, JOIN, or TEXT command is executed).

If the VERIFY ALL command is used, all options in effect are displayed.

3-114. Limitations.

If the VERIFY command is entered with no parameters, it is interpreted as a FIND * command and will locate the current position of the pointer. Therefore, if you wish to verify any of the options in effect, you must append them to the VERIFY command or use the VERIFY ALL command.

3-115. Examples.

The following examples illustrate the use of the VERIFY BATCH, VERIFY FROM, VERIFY, VERIFY FILES and VERIFY ALL commands. Note that, since the VERIFY command (with no parameters) is interpreted as a FIND * command, line 4 (the present location of the pointer) is displayed. Note also that the VERIFY ALL command displays the present location of the pointer before displaying all options in effect.

If the WORK file has been changed, VERIFY ALL and VERIFY FILES will print an appropriate message beneath the name of the WORK file, as in the following:

The VERIFY TABS and VERIFY TABCHAR commands are illustrated in the next example. If a SET TABS or SET TABCHAR command has not yet been used, the Editor responds to a VERIFY TABS or TABCHAR command with NOTABS USED. If the default tab stops are set, a VERIFY yields the default column numbers. Note that the default tab character is Control I ('9). If you change the tab stops with another SET TABS command, the VERIFY TABS commands yields the new column numbers.

   /VERIFY TABS

   NO TABS USED

   /VERIFY TABCHAR

   NO TABS USED

   /SET TABS

   /VERIFY TABS.TABCHAR

   TABS = (  4,  7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31, 65, 71)

   TAB CHARACTER = '9

   /SET TABS = (5,20,45)

   /VERIFY TABS

   TABS =  ( 5, 20, 45)
