How do I search for a list of records (like the F5 key function in ABLEä 5.1)?
[A] In ABLEä 6.0, if you want to be able to do a search to retrieve a list of records, you have to make sure that Enable List Search is selected in the Setup: User Parameters menu. Then, if you enter a key and there is no direct match or there is a direct match with more than one item*, a list will be presented if there are records whose key begins with the key you entered. This list may look like the one shown below. (Remember, though, that this only applies to non-numeric keys like text, private ID, ISSN/ISBN, and call number keys.) *In the initial release, prior to version 6.01, there was a problem with direct matches with more than one item (it would retrieve only the first of the set, not a list).
