The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.6
Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, version 2.6

SUMMARY

The dBASE APPEND FROM ... NOVERIFY clause is ignored in FoxPro.

NOTE: The documentation for FoxPro does not mention that this clause is ignored.

MORE INFORMATION

The dBASE NOVERIFY clause, available only when APPENDing System Data Format (SDF) files, suppresses type checking.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

NOTE: These steps assume that drive C contains a main FoxPro directory called FPW26 and an empty directory called TEST.

Type the following commands in the Command window:

   USE C:\FPW26\TUTORIAL\CUSTOMER.DBF
   COPY TO c:\test\test.dbf
   COPY TO c:\test\sdf.txt TYPE SDF
   USE c:\test\test.dbf
   APPEND FROM c:\test\sdf.txt TYPE SDF NOVERIFY

Note that the APPEND line ignores the NOVERIFY clause.
