VERIFY

Command/Statement

VERIFY checks that a program has been correctly stored following SAVE.

How to use VERIFY

VERIFY is normally used as a direct command in exactly the same way as LOAD and is followed by the program name, for example

VERIFY "filename"

When the VERIFY process is started, the name of every file is displayed and any program found that has the same name is compared with the program in memory. If the two are found to be the same, byte for byte, the report

0 OK, 0:1

is given.

VERIFY CODE and VERIFY DATA

VERIFY CODE can be used in exactly the same way as LOAD CODE to verify that a section of memory information has been stored correctly. VERIFY DATA works in the same way as LOAD DATA to check that an array has been stored without error. See LOAD CODE and LOAD DATA for further details.

Format

  • VERIFY string-expr
  • VERIFY string-expr CODE [int-num-expr] [,int-num-expr]
  • VERIFY string-expr DATA letter[$]()
