How to Verify Commands

Some commands require verification before they are executed. These
commands give you a chance to terminate the action if you entered the
command inadvertently.

If a command requires verification, the terminal will print the prompt Verify (y/
n)?
. Type a Y to continue execution, or an N to terminate the command. Do not
type a Y unless you are sure the command does what you want to do.

Try not to get in the bad habit of typing Y automatically when prompted with
Verify (y/n)?. Look at the command line you typed and think first.

Note that verification is not required when one of these commands is included
in a command file.

How to Use Ranges with Commands

Most PRINT commands allow you to act on specified ranges of data.

• A range has the form N-M, which means numbers N through M. (In

entering the command, actual numbers are substituted for N and M.)

• A -N means numbers from the beginning of the file through N.
• An N- means number N through the end of the file.
• An N means print only number N.

If the starting number specified is not in the file, no data is printed. The printout
stops after the last number specified or at the end of the file if the ending
number is not in the file.

You can specify more than one range for a command:

• PRINT TRANSACTION 23-150 prints transactions 23 through 150.
• PRINT TRANSACTION 23-150 200-250 prints transactions 23 through

150 and 200 through 250.

• PRINT TRANSACTION 23- prints transaction number 23 through the end

of the transaction file.

• PRINT TRANSACTION -5 prints transactions from the beginning of the

file through transaction 5.

• PRINT TRANSACTION 34 prints only transaction number 34.
• PRINT TRANSACTION;P2=ACC=54, 1-10 prints transactions whose

account number starts with 54, in the transaction range 1 through 10.

The only PRINT commands that do not allow ranges are PRINT CARD,
PRINT CONSOLE, PRINT DATE, PRINT PHONE, PRINT RECEIPT, and
PRINT TIP. PRINT LOCKOUT does not allow ranges in systems with limited
lockout.
