1 VERIFY Use VERIFY to confirm that a location or several consecutive locations contain the specified contents. Generally, you should use the VERIFY command with the DEPOSIT command. The DEPOSIT command does not confirm the entries before overwriting them. Therefore, to make certain you know the contents of the locations that will be modified, issue the VERIFY command first. The VERIFY command is also useful when you are patching an image file by means of a command procedure. Using the VERIFY command, you can check particular locations before attempting to modify them. If the VERIFY command fails, that patch is not applied, and PATCH skips to the next SET ECO command. If no other SET ECO command exists, the command procedure is terminated. Format: VERIFY location = current-contents [,...] Mode Qualifiers Default ____ __________ _______ /BYTE /WORD /LONG /LONG /OCTAL /DECIMAL /HEXADECIMAL /HEXADECIMAL /[NO]ASCII /NOASCII Prompts: LOC> location OLD> current-contents 2 Parameters location Specifies either (1) a single location whose contents are to be checked or (2) the starting address of a sequence of locations whose contents are to be checked. current-contents Specifies one or more data entries to be verified. The data you verify must be the actual contents. Do not specify conflicting data types within a single VERIFY command.
