NEXT VERSION

This field can be used to identify a specific version of an application for use in a subsequent MENU, INPUT, OUTPUT, or similar statement.

This field is also used to control which source file is accessed when opening, creating, or scratching a source file. It is automatically cleared following an OPEN, CREATE, or SCRATCH statement.

        SET      --- NEXT APPLICATION           =      TAP
        SET      --- NEXT VERSION               =      00
        SET      --- NEXT PROCESS NAME          =      VENDORS
        INPUT    DETACHED       END? N  FAIL 0

This example will fail if the value in NEXT VERSION is not valid for the current database.
