Extracting A View

When you perform a search, you are prompted to extract the information by lines or pages. Enter L

for line or P for page. The window will change in one of the following ways and the function keys

listed below will be displayed.

Extracting By Lines

If you extract by lines, a search matches window is displayed with a list of all matches found. As

you scroll down the list, the page number of the current item appears at the top of the screen. To the

right of the page number is a list of current match/total matches, i.e., line “3 of 32.”
