Apparently, you already have a KEY-EXIT trigger defined at the form level that takes you to your verification pop-up window. Something like         

	KEY-EXIT
		GO_FIELD('verification');

Now, attached to the verification field, you need two triggers - one for the commit and one to abandon the changes. I am assuming that in either case you want to exit the form after you are done, so

	KEY-EXIT (attached to field 'verification');
		EXIT_FORM(DO_COMMIT);

	KEY-OTHERS (attached to field 'verification');
		EXIT_FORM(NO_VALIDATE);
