CRUISE should provide a command line entry to run a VERIFY function without naming a table

CRUISE should provide a command line entry to run a VERIFY function without having to set up a table for this purpose. Currently every CRUISE function requires a table be created first. The VERIFY could kick off as soon as the entry is made, or it could display the result of the initial entry for verification (as with a normal table). How that is handled internally is not relevant. One possibility is to use a default or skeleton table, that is completed or updated from the command line entries. The VERIFY would support the typical parameters that are required for a normal VERIFY function when creating a table using SETUP.

Once the entries are verified, the function could be executed with a simple ZFCRU START

    Based on resources and priorities, the IBM TPF lab does not intend to implement this in the foreseeable future.
