The SELECT Command

Use the SELECT command as an alternative to entering data into the individual data fields in a Primary Selection panel.

Enter your selection criteria on the command line using this format for ALL, SAR, and SARO mode:

SELECT xxxxxx-id GEN(#) DATE(mm/dd/yyyy) [X|NX|AX] [P|NP|AP]
   [SAVE|NOSAVE] ASIS INDEX(name,name) VALUE(text,text)
   BY(I|R|IL|IR) ALL

This is the command format for EXP and EXPO mode:

SELECT xxxxxx-id GEN(#) DATE(mm/dd/yyyy) [X|NX|AX] [P|NP|AP]
   [SAVE|NOSAVE] ASIS INDEX(name,name) VALUE(text,text)
   BY(I|R|IL|IR) ALL COPY(#)

Be aware of the following:

If the Report-Id (xxxxxx-id) contains quotes or spaces, it must be enclosed in quotes (single or double).
Any quotes in Report-id must be entered as a pair of quotes because a non-paired quote will end the ID.
For example, if the value is JIM’S REPORT it must be entered as ‘JIM’’S REPORT’ or “JIM’S REPORT”.
The asterisk is used as a wild card character and not an actual report id character.

Note: If particular selection criteria is not available on the menu for a particular mode, you cannot use that criteria with the SELECT command.

The SELECT command has the following parameters:
