File Verification

In the Report group of the Form Set Audit form, File Modes (whether each file is an "Input", "Modify", "Output", or "Generic" file) are determined by the type and the verification mode of each file.

If the type of the control is a filepath, then the file mode is Input.

If the file type of the control is one of the following:

• Database file

• .dat file

• .str file

• .sec file

• .svy file

• Merge file

• Report file

• Out type

• Editor file

• Macro file

Then the following verification-mode rules apply:

Verification	Mode
If the file verification mode is one of the following: Must exist Not empty If empty, continue If not empty, continue Empty	Input
If the file verification mode is one of the following: Must exist writeable Not empty writeable	Modify

If none of the above file mode criteria are met, then the file mode is Output.

If none of the above file type and file mode criteria are met, then the file verification mode is one of the following, the file mode is Generic:

Verification	Mode
Must exist Must exist, no expression Not empty If empty, continue If not empty, continue Empty	Generic

All other files are considered “None”.
