From the Select File to Work with you can nominate the file required in 3 different ways:

  • In full. Enter the full name of the file required.
  • Partially. Enter as much as desired of the partial name of the file. A search is made for all files which generically match the name specified and the resulting list is displayed for subsequent selection.
  • Leave blank. In this case a list of all files in the LANSA system is displayed. Select the desired file from the list.

When you press Enter, a screen showing a list of files is displayed.

From the Select File to Work with you can:

  • Alter the file name at the top right of the screen. The change can be to specify a full file name, a partial file name or a change to blanks. In all cases another search is made for the file required.
  • Select one of the files from the list by positioning the cursor on the required file and pressing Enter.

Use the Dsp/Hid Tsk ID function key to display the Task ID locked to a file. The Task ID replaces the display on the right of the screen.
