Search Function Keys

This section provides information on the Search function keys.

Search Forward

This option searches from this point forward for the search value

entered.

SearchBy Columns

This option searches for the specified value within defined columns.

VISTA prompts you for beginning and ending column. It then searches

only within those columns for the value.

Search Window

This option performs a search for the value within the active window

only. For example, if you have defined 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.

Note: You must have windows defined to use this function.

Search For Last

This option searches for the last occurrence of the search value in

the report.

Search by Index Function Keys

This section provides information on the Search Index function keys. These function keys are

displayed only when you have indices defined (for more information on indices, see the section

called “Setting Indices” in this demonstration):

First Index

This option searches within the columns (and lines) specified by the first

index defined for this report. The function key label is based on the first

characters of the description assigned to the index.

Second Index

This option searches by the second index defined for this report.

Third Index

This option searches by the third index defined for this report.

Fourth Index

This option searches by the fourth index defined for this report.
