Set Safety

Set Safety On is used to display a warning before Analyzer overwrites an existing file or fields/variables. If you turn Set Safety Off, Analyzer overwrites files/fields/variables without asking for confirmation. This avoid interruptions while executing a procedure that is designed to overwrite existing files/fields.

Tip: By specifying SET SAFETY OFF in a procedure, if your procedure defines fields on the fly, there is no longer the need to delete the field/variable in the procedure prior to defining it for subsequent running of the procedure.

Note: Overwritten project items or data files on a Windows-based platform will automatically be sent to the recycle bin for possible later recovery.
