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: 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.
Shortcut for Entering Data
After you are familiar with some of the commands, you may no longer require the prompts to
remind you how to enter data. You can type the command and all the data you want to enter on
one line before you press Enter.
Separate items with a comma. To enter a comma as part of the text, type two commas.
Remember that if you use the C option, you must press Enter twice to enter and terminate the
command.
