Checks the integrity of the file and generates a report of any errors in its structure. The report produced by the /CHECK qualifier includes a list of any errors and a summary of the file's structure. If you do not specify an output file, the report is written to the current SYS$OUTPUT device, which is generally your terminal. You can use wildcards and multiple file specifications. If you specify /NOOUTPUT, you only get a message indicating whether the file has errors. The check function is active by default when you use the ANALYZE /RMS_FILE command without any qualifiers. The /CHECK qualifier is not compatible with the /FDL qualifier, the /INTERACTIVE qualifier, the /STATISTICS qualifier, or the /SUMMARY qualifier. If /CHECK is used with any of the other qualifiers, /FDL takes precedence, next is /INTERACTIVE, then /STATISTICS, and lastly /SUMMARY.
