Searching
This section provides information on searching the report. The following sections detail the
function keys involved and the various types of searches that you perform.
Search Function Keys
This section displays the Search function keys. These keys are accessed by pressing F6, Search,
from the View window’s primary set of function keys.
F1
Search Forward
This option searches from the cursor’s current position forward for the
search value entered.
F2
Search BY Columns
This option searches for a specified value in defined columns. VISTA
prompts for beginning and end columns and searches only those columns.
F3
Search Window
This option performs a search for the value within the active window only.
For example, if you define a window containing columns 81 through 132,
if the window is active, and if you execute this function key, VISTA
searches for the value only within columns 81 through 132.
F4
Search For Last
This option searches for the last occurrence of the search value in a report.
