SET CONFIRM
Toggle required exit key to terminate GETs
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
SET CONFIRM on | OFF | <xlToggle>
Arguments
ON requires the user to press an exit key to leave a GET.
OFF allows the user to leave a GET by typing past the end without
pressing an exit key.
<xlToggle> is a logical expression that must be enclosed in
parentheses. A value of true (.T.) is the same as ON, and a value of
false (.F.) is the same as OFF.
Description
SET CONFIRM determines whether an exit key is required to leave a GET.
If CONFIRM is OFF, the user can type past the end of a GET and the
cursor will move to the next GET, if there is one. If there is not
another GET, the READ terminates. If, however, CONFIRM is ON, an exit
key must be pressed to leave the current GET.
In all cases, attempting to leave the current GET executes the RANGE or
VALID clauses, unless the user presses the Esc key.
See @...GET for more information on the behavior of GETs.
