The following fields are found on the Page Indexing Criteria panel and are described in the same order in which the panel displays them.
Defines the system-wide command.
View ID
Displays the ID of the logical view.
Specifies whether the page indexes created for this logical view participate in cross-report indexing.
Cross-report indexes can be selected using the I (index) option in the Select By field of the Primary Selection menu.
Defines the input fields for entering tabular commands.
Specifies the first line or only line on a page to be searched for the specified text.
The beginning line can be a specific line number from 1 to 255 or a relative line number in the form of r+n where r is the reference symbol from an earlier search specification (see R field) and n is the number of lines from the search specification in the range of 0 to 255.
This is a line number, not a record number. Take carriage controls into account when specifying a line number. In addition, the beginning and ending line fields cannot reference a different search specification. Search specifications cannot extend beyond a page boundary.
Specifies the last line on a page to be searched for the specified text.
The ending line can be a specific line number from 1 to 255 or a relative line number in the form of r+n where r is the reference symbol from an earlier search specification (see R field) and n is the number of lines from the search specification in the range of 0 to 255. If omitted, the beginning line is the only line searched.
This is a line number, not a record number. In addition, the beginning and ending line fields cannot reference a different search specification.
Specifies the first or only column on a page to be searched for the specified text.
The beginning column can be a specific column number from 1 to 32760 or a relative column number in the form of r+n or r n where r is the reference symbol from an earlier search specification (see R field) and n is the number of columns from the search specification in the range of 0 to 32760.
Note: This first column of data after the carriage control character is column 1. In addition, the line and column fields cannot reference a different search specification.
Specifies the last column on a page to be searched for the specified text.
The ending column can be a specific column number from 1 to 32760 or a relative column number in the form of r+n or r n where r is the reference symbol from an earlier search specification (see R field) and n is the number of columns from the search specification in the range of 0 to 32760. If omitted, the beginning column is the only column searched. The beginning and ending columns must be large enough to contain the text (as large as or larger than the text length).
Note: This first column of data after the carriage control character is column 1. In addition, the line and column fields cannot reference a different search specification.
Specifies the type of comparison that is to be performed on the specified text.
The valid operations are:
EQ Compare equal to text
NE Compare not equal to text
LK Compare text to a pattern of characters
Specifies the text to be searched for on the page.
The text is maintained as uppercase characters but matches lowercase page data.
For LK (like) operator the text field can specify a special matching character as indicated in the following table or any other character to match specifically that character.
The special matching characters are:
= Any character
? Any character
@ Alphabetic character
# Numeric character
! Alphanumeric character
^ Nonblank character
< Lowercase character
> Uppercase character
Indicates whether multiple occurrence of the text can be found on a page.
Indicates that once the text has been located on a report page no other lines in the report page are searched.
Indicates multiple occurrences of the text can be found on a page and each occurrence is followed by a series of related report lines that can span across report pages. If the first line of the specified line range on a page does not match the search text and other index fields have not changed, that page is considered a continuation of the previous page data and its associated indexes.
Indicates that multiple occurrences of the text can be found on a report page.
Note: Only the first occurrence of the search text is found on an individual line of the page.
Specifies the character that is used as a reference symbol to identify the location where the search is found on a page.
The reference symbol can be any non-blank character. This character must be unique within the search specifications. A reference symbol has to be defined only if a subsequent search or extraction of data is based on the location of this search text.
Allows input of a selection code to copy, delete, insert, move, or repeat entries.
Specifies the index names.
The table allows for a maximum of eight index names and locations where index data can be extracted from a page of data.
Indicates a specific or relative line where index data is to be extracted.
The line number can be a specific line number from 1 to 255 or a relative line in the form r+n where r is the reference symbol of a search specification and n is the number of lines from the search specification in the range of 0 to 255.
This is a line number, not a record number. Take carriage controls into account when specifying a line number.
Indicates a specific or relative column where index data is to be extracted.
The column number can be a specific column number from 1 to 32760 or a relative column number in the form of r+n or r n where r is the reference symbol of a search specification and n is the number of columns from the search specification in the range of 0 to 32760.
Note: This first column of data after the carriage control character is column 1. In addition, the line and column fields cannot reference a different search specification.
Specifies the length of the index field.
Specifies the extract option to be used for multi-level indexing.
The extract options are:
Extracts index data from the page of data when the previous index specification data changes.
Extracts index data from every page.
Extracts nonblank index data.
Note: The default value is ALL.
Specifies whether leading blanks in the index data are to be retained as found or left justified.
The specification can be:
Retains the index data as found on the page.
Removes leading blanks from the index data.
Note: The default value is NO.
Specifies whether the index data is to be retained as found or converted to uppercase characters.
The specification can be:
Retains the index data as found on the page.
Translates all lowercase character to uppercase in the index data.
Note: The default value is YES.
