Specify Question Box Response Validation
$validate option confirm|noconfirm
$validate file.NDX tries confirm|noconfirm
The validate command specifies how to check a caller entry made as a result of the $get_var command. If the entry is valid, control goes to $next_box, if not, then $error_exit is used.
The parameters are on this command are used as follows:
| option | one of the following keywords or values: |
| none | no validation required on this entry (default). |
| digits | After entry repeat the digits entered and use the message specified in $confirm_desc if one is supplied. |
| phone_mask | The entry will be validated against the phone masks for the current user profile and those in the configuration file. |
| credit_card | The entry will be validated as a credit card number and date. To use this feature please contact Copia support. |
| alphabetic | This keyword may be abbreviated to "alpha" and it is used to specify the alphabetic entry option using the voice algorithm file specified in $user_pb_alpha or the default file FAXFACTS.ABC. |
| silence | This keyword causes CopiaFacts to wait for at most the number of seconds (or milliseconds, when system variable TIME_MS is enabled) specified as the max parameter on the associated $get_var command. If the caller speaks or makes a noise during this time, the result is set to 1, and otherwise the result is set to zero. Touch-tone digits are not detected or analyzed with this option, but may be recognized as non-silence. On Dialogic Diva boards, the answering machine detector feature is used to implement silence detection, so AM_RESULT and possibly also FAX_TONE will be set. |
| file.NDX | The entry will be looked up in the specified NDX index file and will be valid if found there. |
| tries | This parameter allows for the number of tries a caller has to make a correct entry. This parameter comes before the confirm/noconfirm keyword. If the validation fails, the entry will be assigned to the system variable BAD_NDX_VALUE instead of to the variable named on the $get_var command. |
| confirm | causes the entry to be repeated to the caller for confirmation. |
| noconfirm | causes the entry not to be repeated to the caller for confirmation (default). |
