Use the check-only modifier

Use the check-only modifier to validate points and report errors, but not make changes to the PI point database.

Enter the character c, for check, with either create or edit mode to combine these modes without making changes to the PIPOINT table:

@mode create, c
@mode edit, c

Note: The check-only modifier applies only to the PIPOINT table. For all other tables, this mode is identical with the normal edit or create mode.

Check mode can also be specified for create or edit mode:

@mode create, t, c
@mode edit, t, c

The specified mode persists until the next mode command is issued.
