command/VERIFY command/VERIFY NAME VERIFY -- Checks stored program against the one in memory ABBREVIATION v <shift> E SYNOPSIS VERIFY "<file>"[,<device>[,<rel_flag>]] FUNCTION This command causes your computer to check the program on tape or disk against the one in memory. This is proof that the program you just SAVEd is really saved, to make sure that nothing went wrong. This command is also very useful to position a tape so that your computer resumes writing following the end of the last program on the tape. All you do is tell the computer to VERIFY the name of the last program on the tape. It will do so, and tell you that the programs don't match (which you already knew). Now the tape is where you want it, and you can store the next program without fear of erasing an old one. VERIFY without anything after the command causes the computer to check the next program on tape, regardless of its name, against the program now in memory. VERIFY followed by a program name (in quotes) or a string variable searches the tape for that program and then checks its. VERIFY followed by a name and a comma and a number checks the program on the device with that number. The relocate flag (<rel_flag>) is the same as in the LOAD command. INPUTS <file> - file name and/or pattern to be checked <device> - storage device number <rel_flag> - relocate flag (0 or 1) RESULT Verification. EXAMPLES VERIFY Checks the next program on the tape. VERIFY "REALITY" Searches for REALITY on tape, checks against memory. VERIFY "ME",8,1 Searches for ME on disk, then checks. NOTES Device 1: tape. Device 8: disk.
