The VERIFY command validates information entered into the current Global Directory. It checks the name-to-region mappings to ensure all names map to a region. The VERIFY command checks region-to-segment mappings to ensure each region maps to a segment, each segment maps to only one region, and the segment maps to an RMS a UNIX file. The EXIT command implicitly performs a VERIFY /ALL.

The format of the VERIFY command is:

    V[ERIFY]
    V[ERIFY] /N[AME] [name-space]
    V[ERIFY] /R[EGION] [region-name]
    V[ERIFY] /S[EGMENT] [segment-name]
    V[ERIFY] /M[AP]
    V[ERIFY] /T[EMPLATE]
    V[ERIFY] /A[LL]
    

The object-type is optional. /MAP, /TEMPLATE, and /ALL are special qualifiers used as follows:

/MAP: Checks that all names map to a region, all regions map to a segment, and all segments map to a file.

/TEMPLATE: Checks that all templates currently are consistent and useable.

/ALL: Checks all map and template data.

VERIFY with no qualifier, VERIFY /MAP, and VERIFY /ALL each check all current information.

Example:

    
            
    GDE> VERIFY/R REGIS
    
    
    
         

This command verifies the region REGIS.
