Use Interactive Verification

Sets interactive verification to on or off.
When objects are being edited in the LANSA Editor, a verification process is run to provide feedback to you about the state of the object being edited. For source objects, such as functions and components, verification occurs as the source changes, while for non-source objects such as fields and tables, verifications are run every 1.5 seconds. This verification process produces the error/warning triangles and messages seen throughout the Editor.

For objects that can be compiled into Windows DLLs, we recommend you select this option so that the suggested identifier matches the 8-character DDL name.
