DISPLAY SETS

Displaying Sets in OneSearch

FROM EACH
During a OneSearch session, you can use the FROM EACH designation to DISPLAY SETS from each of the files entered with the last BEGIN command. The display includes each file number and the number of items found in each file, along with the total for all files searched. You can also designate a set number or range of set numbers to be displayed FROM EACH (e.g., DISPLAY SETS S1-S2 FROM EACH).

 

FROM <file number>
You can DISPLAY SETS FROM individual files while in a OneSearch session. You can also specify a set number or range of set numbers to DISPLAY FROM a designated file number(s).
