HP Browse/XL User's Guide

4- 26

Ignore Case. The Ignore Case option may be either "Yes" or "No". If "Yes", HP Browse performs its

searches without regard to the case of characters in the ﬁle. That is, alphabetic characters in the search

pattern will match either their uppercase or lowercase equivalents. If "No", the case must agree for HP

Browse to match the search pattern. The default is "No".

Use Pattern-Matching Characters. The Use Pattern-matching Chars option may be "Yes" or "No". If

"Yes", special pattern-matching characters can be used when you specify your search pattern. (For more

information, see "Search Functions: Deﬁne Search Patterns", in this chapter.) If "No", the search pattern

is interpreted literally. The default is "No".

Function Keys. The Function Keys option toggles between "Save" and "Replace". The default is "Save",

which saves your function keys as you enter HP Browse and restores them upon exiting. If the "Replace"

value is used, your function keys are overwritten as you enter HP Browse and they are not restored upon

exiting.

Forward/Back Scroll Size. The Forward/Back Scroll Size option indicates how many new lines are

moved into view on each Forward/Back Scroll function. The value of this option must be an integer greater

than zero. The default is 20.

Left/Right Scroll Size. The Left/Right Scroll Size option that indicates how many columns are moved

into view on each Left/Right Scroll function. The value of this option must be an integer between 1 and

1000. The default is 60.

File Path. The File Path option, if speciﬁed, must consist of sufﬁxes to append to a ﬁle name when the ﬁle

name cannot be found in the current group. When this function key is pressed, the current ﬁle path is

displayed and you are prompted for a new ﬁle path. Each path is entered as ".Group" or ".Group.Account".

Specify multiple paths by separating each sufﬁx by either a comma or blank. The default value for this

option is .OUT.HPSPOOL, to simplify the browsing of spool ﬁles. You only need to enter the spooler output

number to specify the spool ﬁle in the ﬁle path; HP Browse ﬁlls in the rest of the ﬁle path.

Saving Your Options

The Save Conﬁguration function saves the current browse and print options to the ﬁle name you specify.

(See "File and Print Functions: Print Text" for information about print options.) The default ﬁle is

"HPBCONFG". If you save the options to a ﬁle other than HPBCONFG, you must use a ﬁle equation to

redirect HPBCONFG to your ﬁle. The options that are saved by pressing the Save Conﬁg are listed below.
