        DOCUMENTATION TOPIC SEARCH

        The Custom Menu ABT-Z-00 operates via a program which displays the individual documents, one at a time. These documents can be displayed, or printed via a COPY command.

        To print out a specific topic:

        Enter a topic number from Menu ABT-Z-00

        When the list of sub-topics displays, you can print the sub-topic documents, individually.

        To print the third sub-topic, after selecting your printer via PTR, in the usual way:

        Enter: COPY 3

        The display program also has options to display the baseline documentation from DW-USER or STAT-USER on-screen, as plain text.

        At the prompt at the bottom of the screen, after choosing a Menu topic, enter "SEARCH". The following options are offered:

        Enter "MENU" to view a list of Processes within a Menu. Enter a Process Number (per the numbering on the left) to view STAT- or DW-USER, which is the information you would see when entering "?5", while on the specific Menu, for the fifth Process number.

        Enter "PROCESS" to view the same documentation from a known Process ID.

        Enter "ITEM" to see a detailed attribute-by-attribute listing of any data record. Each value and subvalue will occupy a separate print line, and numeric and date conversions will show externally converted data to the right.

Enter "DICT" for a graphical dictionary representation. If WIDE mode is selected, the first-level helps from STAT-ELEMENTS or DW-ELEMENTS prints to the right, where such "helps" exists on each specific field.
