COPYRIGHT 1990 - CARL F, MIESCKE
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
UPDATE - VERSION 2.91S
Version 2.91 incorporated the feature known as "VARIABLE STRING
SEARCH" in the search/correct/delete routine. This feature
permitted the searching for a specific combination of characters
imbedded in the data records. for example, it is possible to
locate all last mames beginning with "MC" or "MAC"
The introduction of the "VARIABLE STRING SEARCH" made possible
the inclusion of more than one classificarion code, and the
searching for that code. This greatly increased the flexiblity
of the search routine.
In version 2.92 this search ability has been extended to the
classification code sorts of all print and utility routines.
For example, if the Class Code field contains the following data.
"SJS/412/412A/HOME"
If the sort criteria inputted is 412, the program will print all
records(addresses) containing 312 and 412A in class code field.
If the slash limiter is included, ie "412/", only the fields
containing "412" will be printed.
The string search has only been extended to the classification
code field in the print and utilities routines.
