VERIFY attribute
The VERIFY attribute
requires users to enter data in the field twice to reduce the probability
of erroneous data entry.
Syntax
VERIFYUsage
This attribute supplies an additional step in data entry to ensure the integrity of your data.
After the user enters a value into a VERIFY field and presses the Return or Tab
key, the runtime system erases the field and requests reentry of the value. The user must enter
exactly the same data each time, character for character: 15000 is not exactly the same as
15000.00.
The VERIFY attribute takes effect in INPUT or INPUT
ARRAY instructions only, it has no effect on CONSTRUCT
statements.
