SUMMARY
=======
In FoxBASE+, the SET SAFETY OFF command suppresses system messages that confirm
potentially destructive file operations. For example, when SET SAFETY ON is in
effect, the INDEX and ZAP commands may generate a "File already exists,
overwrite? (Y/N)" message. This message does not appear when SET SAFETY OFF is
in effect. Users will not be warned when files may be overwritten or destroyed.
If the REINDEX command is used, the SAFETY setting is ignored.
Example
-------
SET SAFETY ON
USE demo
INDEX ON lname TO demo
5 records indexed
INDEX ON fname TO demo
D:\FOXBASE\FOXVDEMO\DEMO.IDX already exists, overwrite it? (Y/N)
5 records indexed
SET SAFETY OFF
INDEX ON lname TO demo && Does not warn user
5 records indexed
