Set search name

Syntax

Set search name search-name

Description

This command sets the search class to be used with reports, Search list and Find (using search) commands. If no search class name is included, the current search is cleared. Search classes allow subsets of the records to be printed or worked on.

A Find first (Use search) command reads in the first record which matches the current search criterion and creates a find table. Subsequent Next commands print out the records in the table.

If used within a reversible block, the search name reverts to its former setting when the method terminates.
