UTILITY SETUP CONFIRM MODIFY/DELETE ON/OFF

      

In an interactive session this command can be used to switch on/off the confirmation prompt for commands which delete or modify information in the model. The default is ON, in which case confirmation of a deletion or modification command will be requested. If ON/OFF is omitted then the command acts as a toggle switch and will change ON to OFF or OFF to ON.

Even if the confirmation prompt has been switched off, confirmation of a deletion or modification is written to the history and log files. This enables these files to be read in regardless of the current setting of the confirmation prompt for interactive work. So when input is read from a file the command will have no effect.

Examples:

1.
UTILITY SETUP CONFIRM MODIFY OFF

This will switch off the confirmation prompt for commands which modify existing data.

2.
UTILITY SETUP CONFIRM DELETE ON

This will switch on the confirmation prompt for UTILITY DELETE commands.

3.
UTILITY SETUP CONFIRM MODIFY

If the the prompt is currently ON then this command will change it to OFF and vice versa.
