4. Subject Cross Reference › 4.1 Keyword Selection
4.1 Keyword Selection
The Keyword Selection panel is displayed when you select
option 4, Subject Cross Reference, from the Document Access
primary menu. It presents a scrollable list of key words
used in the CA MICS documentation.
You can scan for word strings or specific words using Find
and Locate commands:
o The F (Find) command narrows down the words in the list to
those that start with the letters you type after F. For
example, F SMF will display all words that begin with SMF.
o The L (Locate) command moves you down the list so that the
letters you specify after L appear at the top of the list.
For example, L SMF will scroll you to that point in the
keyword vocabulary where SMF occurs in alphabetical order.
(Note that Locate operates within the range defined by the
Find command, if it has previously been issued.)
When you select the keywords you are interested in and type
the SC primary command, you see a list of phrases from the
text that use those keywords in some combination. From that
display you can select the phrases you want to look up in the
text.
Note: You can select two or three keywords instead of just
one, but if they are not all found together in the text, the
list of phrases will be empty.
The other way to initiate a search is to use the SC command
from any of the Document Access panels, specifying the
keywords of interest following the command. For example,
Command===> SC PRIMARY COMMAND
You would then see key phrases from the text that use the
specific word "primary" with the word "command."
Note: Uppercase/lowercase is ignored.

THE KEYWORD FIELDS - Keywords ===> ===> ===>
The Keyword fields are used to enter search words that
identify the subject you wish to look up in the text. The
words you request are matched against the keyed subject
phrases from the documentation. Phrases containing all of
the keywords you request are then listed on the Phrase
Selection panel. These fields are equivalent to the
arguments specified with the SC primary command.
LINE COMMANDS
Line commands are entered to the left of one or more rows in
the vocabulary list. The valid commands are:
S (Select)
Add the selected keyword to the next available Keyword
field. Equivalent to typing the selected word in the
Keyword field.
PRIMARY COMMANDS - Command ===>
The Command field is used to enter primary commands that
control the vocabulary listing or begin the keyword searching
process.
F (Find)
Display all keywords in the vocabulary that match the
find argument.
Example: Find a word prefix
F JCL (show all keywords that begin with "JCL")
Use the R (Reset) command to return to the full
vocabulary list.
L (Locate)
Scroll to the keyword named. If the exact word is not
in the vocabulary, the next word in the list
(alphabetically) is located.
Example: Locate a keyword in the display list
L J (scroll to the words that begin with "J")
Locate operates within the range defined by the F
(Find) command, if it has previously been issued.
LAST
Display the previous phrase selection list, if a
previous cross reference search has been run during
the current session.
M (bookMark)
Switch the display to the contents of the current
Bookmark List.
R (Reset)
Remove the previous find argument selection and return
to the full vocabulary list. This will reposition the
display at the beginning of the vocabulary list.
SC (Subject Cross Reference)
Search for phrases in the guides that contain
specified keywords.
Example: Search for sections using key1 key2 key3
SC key1 key2 key3
Example: Reshow last search text selection list
SC LAST
Example: Search for words in the Keywords fields
SC
Other acceptable primary commands are the standard ISPF PF
keys and Command Table commands, like Up and Down. If the
display list is too long to fit on one screen, these
scrolling commands allow you to move through the entire list.

Figure 4-2. Subject Cross Reference Warning Panel
This warning panel is displayed, after you enter a search
request, if the list of phrases to be retrieved is very
large. This panel is meant to prevent an expensive search
that yields too much information.
For example, words like DATA or USER appear frequently
throughout the documentation. The number of phrases that
satisfy such an argument could be in the hundreds or
thousands. In turn, each of these phrases might be used in
multiple sections. Such a result is normally too massive to
be of any use, and will consume a large amount of CPU time to
produce.
Therefore, if you receive this warning, consider a more
specific request. Try to narrow the subject by qualifying it
with another more specific keyword.
