4284.0. "Bypass EXACT MATCH name search sequence ?" by ZPOVC::CHINGYUE () Thu Jun 23 1994 08:16

    I understand that ALL-IN-1 has a name-search sequence that reads
    PROFILE.DAT before NETWORK.DAT and stops the search whenever an exact
    match is found.
    
    Is there a way to force it to list all entries begining with the
    substring instead of just the record in PROFILE.DAT when the match is
    exact ?  (It's a question by customer. Just want to confirm)
    
    Eg:	  PROFILE.DAT          NETWORKS.DAT
    	  -----------          ------------
          CHINGYUE	       CHINGYUE@A1@NODEA
                               CHINGYUE@A1@NODEB
    
    AT EMC TO: CHINGYUE <cr>,
    
    All three entries are listed instead of just CHINGYUE.
    
    regards,
    ching-U

4284.1Use FIND to find matching entries!IOSG::MARSHALLA glitch in realityThu Jun 23 1994 15:039
If they hit FIND instead of CR, a list of all matching entries will be
displayed.

This matches the way these keys work throughout ALL-IN-1, viz:

CR -> I want to move on, so just give me the first match
FIND -> I want to find what possible values there are

    So, presumably you could customize the CR key to do an OA$FLD_NEXT
    before it does an OA$FLD_DONE.  You might have to check the field name
    for the last field on the form or something.  There is a drawback to
    this in that it goes against the UI design of the product, so people
    might tend to expect it elsewhere, when it may not be practical.
