/CONFIRM

/NOCONFIRM (default)

Prompt for positive confirmation before carrying out the indicated operation. /NOCONFIRM is the default behavior.

When the operation is successful, output a status message stating that the operation succeeded. Note that error messages are always indicated. /NOLOG is the default behavior.
