Using the Selection Criteria Fill-in Panel

In the ENTMAINT Mode, you use a Selection Criteria Fill-in panel to enter the command syntax for the desired function. If you select one of the DISPLAY functions in this mode you receive the Selection Criteria panel with the optional AS OF field to display an occurrence as it existed at a specific date and time. For more information about the AS OF field, see Using the Selection Criteria Fill-in Panel.

The Selection Criteria panel shows the function you are requesting on the panel. The Selection Criteria panel has a box for selecting optional criteria on the right and lines to select a specific entity-type and occurrence below.
