*Defer Confirm

The *Defer Confirm field only applies to functions where a confirm prompt is available. In such functions there are likely to be occasions when you want to suppress the confirm prompt and subsequent processing. On these occasions, *Defer Confirm causes the panel to be redisplayed as if the user had replied No to the confirm prompt. The effect is the same, even if the confirm prompt option is not specified on the Edit Function Options panel.

For example, in an Edit File function, if a line is selected with a Z, you would probably not want to display the confirm prompt on returning to the Edit file display. To prevent the program from displaying the confirm prompt, move the condition *Defer Confirm to the *Defer Confirm field. This causes the confirm and update part of the processing to be skipped.
