Complete your specifications on the Selection Criteria panel as described in Using the Selection Criteria Fill-in Panel, except for the last field, CLASS. Enter the text classification of the text you want to display. Use the standard naming conventions established for CA Datacom Datadictionary. For more information, see the CA Datacom Datadictionary User Guide.

If you leave the CLASS field blank, CA Datacom Datadictionary selects the current default text classification in the following order:

1. The text class of the previously anchored occurrence
2. The session default established with the SET TEXT command (see Setting Session Default Values)
3. The system default classification name STANDARD

When you complete the Selection Criteria panel and press Enter, CA Datacom Datadictionary presents a display similar to the following panel. The text stored in CA Datacom Datadictionary under the text classification you specified on the Selection Criteria panel displays. The OWNED field states that the occurrence owns this text. If the text is shared, SHARED displays instead. You cannot update the information on this panel.

Note: If a FIELD occurrence has no owned or shared text and has the same name as a FIELD occurrence in the UNIVERSAL record, CA Datacom Datadictionary displays the text associated with the universal field for the selected field.

 000001    The Application Demonstration System is a generic representation
 000002 of a customer order-entry system as it may appear in the business
 000003 world.
 000004    The overall system is designed modularly so that it may be enhanced
 000005 without adversely affecting the basic design of the system.  Modularity
 000006 allows the system to be expanded or enhanced for demonstration purposes
 000007 or for the actual use of the system in a production environment.  The
 000008 ORDER-ENTRY database consists of nine tables, each of which has
 000009 minimally a primary key.  The database, as it is conceptualized, is
 PF1=HELP  PF2=END  PF3=CLARIFY  PF4=PROCESS  PF5=MENU   PF6=STATUS
 PF7=SCB   PF8=SCF  PF9=APPLY    PF10=PATH    PF11=NEXT  PF12=NEXT CLASS

When the display is longer than the screen, you can use the scroll commands or PF keys to move backward and forward through the display.
