Search Content
Use this feature to search for records when you have the
specific data they contain. The data can be part of or all of a
record. You can select this feature from either the Index (X)
or the Update (U) modes.
1.
Press FUNCT SEL lower and SEARCH CONTENT. (A
previously keyed record might appear; if so, press
FUNCT SEL lower and DELETE REC.)
2.
Key in the part of the record (or entire record) you are
searching for. You must enter this data in the same
positions as it was entered in the record you're
searching.
3.
Press REC ADV (starts search).
The search stops when a record containing the data you keyed
in step 2 is found. Then the machine displays that record.
When the search stops, the machine is in Update (U) mode.

To Resume Searching for the Same Content after Updating a
Record
1.
Press REC BKSP.
Note:
The Search Content feature starts searching on
the next record - not the current record. Therefore, by
pressing REC BKSP you are assured of having all records
searched.
2.
Press FUNCT SEL lower and SEARCH CONTENT
(previously keyed data appears).
3.
Press REC ADV (starts the search).
Note:
Occasionally the search may stop on a record in which
a portion of the field in the record being displayed matches the
data you keyed in step 2. If this should occur, restart the
Search Content operation from the address where the search
stopped to see if you can find the record.
