Searching the Control File

Option S from the MODS : Administration Menu displays the MODS : Search Definitions panel.

This panel specifies the control file to search, and the character string to search for. Each instance of the string found by the search is listed in a PSM report.

 PROD------------------- MODS : Search Definitions -----------------------------  Command ===>  Appl ID ..................+ ___  Component ................+ ___  Search String ............. __________________________________________________  File ID ..................+ ________  Exclude Help and Messages?  YES  Language Code ............. UK_   F1=Help      F2=Split     F3=Exit                                F6=Action                             F9=Swap

For information about the fields on the panel, press F1 (Help).

The search results in a PSM report that lists MODS records (if found) containing the specified string of characters.

To start the search, press F6 (Action). The PSM : Confirm Printer panel is displayed.

If necessary, change the values in the fields, then press F6 (Confirm) to start the search. If the number of records to be searched is 100 or more, a panel appears on your screen to advise you of the progress of the search. When the search is complete, a message appears on your screen to advise you the success of failure of the search.

If the report is on hold, you can use the PQ[UEUE] command to access the PSM output queue and view the report.
