CDF_SET_VALIDATE ---------------------------------- The CDF_SET_VALIDATE function allows users to set whether to validate the data values in a CDF file when it is opened. The default is to perform the data check. The main purpose of the data checking is to address any security concern, e.g., buffer overflow, from the CDF caused by compromised CDF files. Some overheads are accrued from the data validation. Turn the data checking off if the files being processed are considered clean and compromise-free. Syntax CDF_SET_VALIDATE [,/YES|/NO] Keywords NO Bypass the data checking when the CDF files are opened. YES This is the default when CDF files are opened. Examples Use the following command to instruct CDF not to perform data validation when files are opened.
