Verify Data

If you turn this option on, every time you process a field while a file is open, Analyzer automatically checks whether the contents of a data field correspond to the field’s data type in the table layout (character, numeric, date, logical, etc.). Processing stops when an error occurs, unless the Blank Invalid Data option is also on.

If you turn this option off, Analyzer does not test for data validity, therefore improving processing speed.

You can also blank invalid characters encountered. See Blank Invalid Data for more information.
