Command SET CONFIRM Foundation

Determines how GET input ends when the last position in the edit buffer is filled.

Syntax
SET CONFIRM on | OFF | <lToggle>
Scope
process-wide
Parameters
<lToggle>
<lToggle> is logical expression which must appear in parentheses. Instead of the logical expression, the option ON can be specified for the value .T. (true) or OFF for the value .F. (false). When .T. or ON is specified, a Get entry field can be exited only by pressing an exit key. If the setting is set to OFF, a GET entry field is automatically exited as soon as the user has entered the last character in the edit buffer.
Description

The command SET CONFIRM determines which keys can be used to exit a GET entry field. With the default setting OFF, a GET entry field is ended as soon as the user has entered the last character in the edit buffer. The cursor then skips to the next GET entry field. If it is the last GET field, the command READ is terminated. If SET CONFIRM is turned ON, the user must explicitly press an exit key to end the GET input. More information on data input can be found with the command @...GET.
