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.

When you create an object, LANSA automatically generates an identifier for it based on the name of the object. The identifier can be up to 9 characters long. 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.

In single-user environments, object locking can be turned off.

When object locking is on, locks are put on objects so that multiple users cannot edit them simultaneously.

Setting object locking to Read only sets all objects in the partition to READ ONLY status.
Refer to Object Locking in Visual LANSA Administration.
