/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.
