Record Advance
In Index mode, REC ADV displays the next record on the
index track (but doesn't enter a record on the disk).
In Enter mode, REC ADV executes remaining auto dup/skip
fields, enters the current record on the disk, and advances to
the first manual position of the next record.
In Update mode, REC ADV enters the changed record onto
the disk, then displays the next record.
In Verify mode, REC ADV causes the 3741 to check for
blanks in remaining manual fields and execute remaining auto
fields.
If corrections were made to a record, pressing REC ADV
enters the corrected record on the disk.
If you press REC ADV in the first manual position of a
record while verifying, the 3741 advances to the next record
but doesn't verify the current record.
In Enter, Update, or Verify modes, pressing REC ADV
when at the end of extent (EOE) returns the machine to the
Index mode and displays the current data set label.
In Enter mode, an alternate method of record advance is
available. To place the machine in this mode, press FUNCT
SEL lower and R. (A dash (-) appears in position 39 of
the status line.) In this mode, the 3741 bypasses all fields
which are beyond the cursor position when you press REC
ADV. To return to the normal mode, press FUNCT SEL
lower and K. Inserting a diskette also restores the machine
to the normal mode.
