Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

  Argument
 
    state    Boolean expression representing the desired DOS
             verification state
 
  Description
 
    The SetVerify procedure sets or clears the state of the internal
    verify flag in DOS. The verify flag controls verification of data
    written to disks. If verification is True, DOS verifies output to
    disk. If verification is False, DOS does not verify output to disk.
    The default setting for the verify flag is False.
 
    Turn on verification by passing SetVerify the value True. Turn off
    verification by passing the value False.
 
    The GetVerify procedure gets the current state of the internal
    verify flag.
 
    The verify flag remains in the specified state until changed by
    SetVerify or the DOS command VERIFY. It does not change when
    program execution ends.
