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

    1.$ SET VERIFY = PROCEDURE

      In this example, procedure verification is turned on. If image
      verification was on, it remains on; if image verification was
      off, it remains off.

    2.$ SET VERIFY
      $ INDEX == "$INDEX.EXE
      $ CONTENTS == "$CONTENTS.EXE
      $ TABLE == "$TABLE.EXE
      $ SET NOVERIFY
      $ EXIT

      Procedure and image verification are turned on at the beginning
      of the command procedure so that the system displays all the
      command and data lines in the procedure as it reads them. At
      the end of the procedure, the SET NOVERIFY command restores the
      system default (no procedure or image verification).

    3.$ PROC_VER = F$ENVIRONMENT("VERIFY_PROCEDURE")
      $ IMAGE_VER = F$ENVIRONMENT("VERIFY_IMAGE")
      $ HOLD_PREFIX = F$ENVIRONMENT("VERIFY_PREFIX")
      $ SET PREFIX "(!%T)"
      $ SET VERIFY
         .
         .
         .
      $ TEMP = F$VERIFY(PROC_VER, IMAGE_VER)
      $ SET PREFIX "''HOLD_PREFIX'"

      This command procedure uses the F$ENVIRONMENT lexical function
      to save the current procedure and image verification setting,
      as well as the current verification prefix string. The SET
      PREFIX command sets the verification prefix to be used in
      the current command procedure. It uses an FAO control string
      to produce the time each command is read by the command
      interpreter (DCL), surrounded by parentheses. Then the SET
      VERIFY command turns on both procedure and image verification.
      Subsequently, the F$VERIFY lexical function is used to restore
      the original verification settings. The SET PREFIX command
      returns the verification prefix to its previous setting. Note
      how the symbol HOLD_PREFIX is used in the SET PREFIX command.
      This preserves casing and special characters in the stored
      string.

    4.$ SET VERIFY
      $ @TEST
      $ RUN AVERAGE
      1
      2
      3
      $ EXIT

      In this example, the SET VERIFY command turns procedure and
      image verification on. When the command procedure TEST.COM is
      executed interactively, the command lines and the data lines
      for the program AVERAGE are displayed on the terminal. The data
      lines were entered in the command procedure on lines that did
      not begin with the DCL prompt.

    5.$ SET VERIFY
      $ COUNT = 1
      $ IF P'COUNT' .NES. "" THEN GOTO &P'COUNT'
         .
         .
         .
      $ EXIT

      When this command procedure is executed interactively, the
      SET VERIFY command causes the command and data lines to be
      displayed. Symbols that are substituted during the first
      phase of symbol substitution (such as 'COUNT') are displayed
      by the SET VERIFY command, but other symbols are not. The
      following lines are displayed when this procedure is executed
      interactively:

        $ COUNT = 1
        $ IF P1 .NES. "" THEN GOTO &P1
           .
           .
           .

      Although these values are not displayed, the value for P1 is
      substituted during the third phase of symbol substitution, and
      the value for &P1 is substituted during the second phase.
