Write a program or function that takes in a positive integer. You can assume the input is valid and may take it as a string. If the number is any of

123
234
345
456
567
678
789

then output a truthy value. Otherwise, output a falsy value. For example, the inputs

1
2
3
12
122
124
132
321
457
777
890
900
1011
1230
1234

must all result in falsy output. (The input will not have leading zeroes so you needn't worry about things like 012.)

The shortest code in bytes wins.

=IF(LEN(N)<3,"Falsy",IF(AND(LEN(N)=3,MID(N,2,1)-MID(N,1,1)=1,MID(N,3,1)-MID(N,2,1)=1),"Truthy","Falsy"))

Explanation:

The syntax for the IF formula in Excel is:

IF( condition, [value_if_true], [value_if_false] )

If the length of input N, where it's a name of the reference cell, is less than 3, then it will return Falsy. Else, if the length of input N is 3 and both of the difference of second digit and first digit and the difference of third digit and second digit are equal to 1, then it will return Truthy.

GNU Octave : 74 bytes

golfed:

function r=g(a)t=conv(a-'0',[1,-1],'valid')==1;r=(sum(t)==2).*prod(t);end;

ungolfed:

function r=golf_123(a)
  t=conv(a-'0',[1,-1],'valid')==1;
  r=(sum(t)==2).*prod(t);
endfunction

Explanation: Treat the string as an integer vector, any two consecutive digits will then have derivative given the finite difference filter [1,-1] equal to 1 at each valid convolution output. The prod command calculates product, so it will short circuit to 0 if at least one entry is 0. The sum(t)==2 disqualifies any run of increasing digits longer or shorter than 3.

PHP 5.6, 48 bytes

<?=($a=$argv[1])==join("",range($a[0],$a[0]+2));

Wanted to try something a little different from the other PHP answers (and a different approach to most of the posted answers). Take the first number of the input string, add two to it and create a range array, then join those together to create a new string and then return if they're equal or not.

Run with:

echo '<?=($a=$argv[1])==join("",range($a[0],$a[0]+2));' | php -- 123

Input is via an execution argument to add each digit to stack, left to right.

Clojure, 25 bytes

(set (range 123 790 111))

Basically the Haskell answer. Creates a range which includes all the truthy answers, then converts it into a set. Sets are functions in Clojure (they implement the function interface and can be called).

Returns the number as the truthy return (every number is truthy in Clojure), and nil for the falsey value.

Use:

(let [s (set (range 123 790 111))]

    (s 123)
    123

    (s 234)
    234

AWK, 33 28 27 Bytes

{$0=($1-12)/111~/^[1-7]$/}1

Prints 1 for corresponds to one of the desired values, 0 otherwise.

Updated answer is based on TimmyD's powershell answer.

Example usage:

awk '{$0=($1-12)/111~/^[1-7]$/}1' <<< 789

Prints 1

awk '{$0=($1-12)/111~/^[1-7]$/}1' <<< 12

Prints 0

Since this is using division rather than modulus, the result will be an integer for the desired values, but that integer needs to be between 1 and 7.

Explanation

#@ #.0        skip the terminator and output command. Adds a meaningless zero to 
                the stack.
&# ::         take in an input and add two more copies to the stack
57*2+3*%      adds input mod 111 ((5*7+2)*3) to the stack
34*-#<_#      compares 12 to the result, if they are the same, continue to move 
                right, else move left
34*`!#<_#     checks to see that the input is greater (`) than 12. If it is, 
                continue to move right, else move left
98*34**`#<_   check that 864 (9*8*3*4) is greater than the input. (the reason for 
                this is that 864 was an easy number to create that was greater than 
                the last possible number (789) and was less than the next number 
                divisible by 111 (900)
1.@           if you pass all the checks, output 1, otherwise...
@.0># &#      you will move back through the code heading left. (you will do 
                the operations, but that will not matter.) Skip the input 
                command. Output zero and end the code.
