/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb MMS, Qualifiers, /VERIFY  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    /VERIFY (D)
    /NOVERIFY

    Controls whether MMS displays action lines before executing
    them. These qualifiers affect the behavior of MMS, but not the
    execution of action lines.

    The /VERIFY qualifier directs MMS to display each action line
    before executing it. MMS writes action lines either to SYS$OUTPUT
    or to a file you specify on the /OUTPUT qualifier.

    If you specify the /REVISE_DATE qualifier in combination with the
    /VERIFY qualifier, MMS displays the names of files whose dates
    have been revised.

    When you specify the /NOVERIFY qualifier, MMS suppresses the
    display (but not the execution) of action lines. Any error
    messages generated by the execution of action lines continue
    to be displayed. If you specify the /REVISE_DATE and /NOVERIFY
    qualifiers on the same command line, the names of files whose
    dates have been revised are not displayed.

    The behavior of the /NOVERIFY qualifier is identical to
    that of the Silent action-line prefix and the .SILENT
    directive. If a description file contains the .SILENT directive, to
    override it you must type the /VERIFY qualifier explicitly on the
    MMS command line. You cannot override the Silent action-line prefix
    from the MMS command line.
