Abstract
A method, computer system, and a computer program product for verified data transfer is provided. The present invention may include determining a first data type of a copy field including a copied data. The present invention may then include determining a second data type of a paste field intended for receiving the copied data. The present invention may further include, in response to identifying a mismatch between the first determined data type of the copy field including the copied data and the second determined data type of the paste field, preventing an input of the copied data into the paste field.
Claims17
A method for verified data transfer, the method comprising:
- determining a first data type of a copy field including a copied data;
- determining a second data type of a paste field intended for receiving the copied data;
- identifying a data type mismatch between the first determined data type of the copy field including the copied data and the second determined data type of the paste field;
- and
- preventing an input of the copied data into the paste field responsive to the identified data type mismatch between the first determined data type of the copy field including the copied data and the second determined data type of the paste field;
- generating a textual alert including a message indicating the identified data type mismatch between the first determined data type of the copy field and the second determined data type of the paste field;
- and
- prompting, in the generated textual alert, a selection between a first confirmation and a second confirmation, wherein the selection of the first confirmation aborts the input of the copied data into the paste field and wherein the selection of the second confirmation continues the input of the copied data into the paste field.
5 more elements
A computer system for verified data transfer, comprising:
- one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage media, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable tangible storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, wherein the computer system is capable of performing a method comprising:
- determining a first data type of a copy field including a copied data;
- determining a second data type of a paste field intended for receiving the copied data;
- identifying a data type mismatch between the first determined data type of the copy field including the copied data and the second determined data type of the paste field;
- and
- preventing an input of the copied data into the paste field responsive to the identified data type mismatch between the first determined data type of the copy field including the copied data and the second determined data type of the paste field;
- generating a textual alert including a message indicating the identified data type mismatch between the first determined data type of the copy field and the second determined data type of the paste field;
- and
- prompting, in the generated textual alert, a selection between a first confirmation and a second confirmation, wherein the selection of the first confirmation aborts the input of the copied data into the paste field and wherein the selection of the second confirmation continues the input of the copied data into the paste field.
6 more elements
A computer program product for verified data transfer, comprising:
- one or more computer-readable tangible storage media and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable tangible storage media, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- determining a first data type of a copy field including a copied data;
- determining a second data type of a paste field intended for receiving the copied data;
- identifying a data type mismatch between the first determined data type of the copy field including the copied data and the second determined data type of the paste field;
- and
- preventing an input of the copied data into the paste field responsive to the identified data type mismatch between the first determined data type of the copy field including the copied data and the second determined data type of the paste field;
- generating a textual alert including a message indicating the identified data type mismatch between the first determined data type of the copy field and the second determined data type of the paste field;
- and
- prompting, in the generated textual alert, a selection between a first confirmation and a second confirmation, wherein the selection of the first confirmation aborts the input of the copied data into the paste field and wherein the selection of the second confirmation continues the input of the copied data into the paste field.
