Searches for records using specific criteria (filtering them out of a very large collection). Search criterias can be provided for every data field. If you are searching multiple data fields, the criteria should be linked with a logical AND. The maximum length of a search key is 256 characters. When the SEARCH function is invoked, the search window appears. |

![]() |
If a sorting priority was entered before the sort, and if the number
of records found is greater than the maximum value specified in the mask,
the additional records can be loaded using the scan buttons: ![]() Each time, 100 records are loaded for viewing, and they can also be sorted. That sort involves the current 100 records, and not all the records found! |
