PATCHHELP.HLB  —  VERIFY
 Use VERIFY to confirm that  a  location  or  several  consecutive
 locations contain the specified contents.

 Generally, you should use the VERIFY  command  with  the  DEPOSIT
 command.  The DEPOSIT command does not confirm the entries before
 overwriting them.   Therefore,  to  make  certain  you  know  the
 contents of the locations that will be modified, issue the VERIFY
 command first.

 The VERIFY command is also useful when you are patching an  image
 file  by means of a command procedure.  Using the VERIFY command,
 you can check particular locations before  attempting  to  modify
 them.   If  the  VERIFY command fails, that patch is not applied,
 and PATCH skips to the next SET ECO command.  If no other SET ECO
 command exists, the command procedure is terminated.

 Format:

      VERIFY location = current-contents [,...]
