Copying a Range of Address Records
To copy a range of address records:
1. Access the Database Editor as described in Editing an Address Description on page
9-7 . With a record highlighted, press [F6] . The system asks if you want to copy
one record, or a range of records.
2. Select [F2] Search/Copy a Range of Addresses . The system prompts you for a
search address. This address can be a single address, or you can use a wildcard
character in the address to select a range of records. For instance, you could
explicitly choose address C5:0, which would copy only the record for address C5:0.
However, you could choose C5:*, which would copy all records for addresses in the
C5: data table file.
3. Type the address you want to copy (including any wildcards). Press [Enter] . The
system asks you for the replace address, which is the address (or addresses) where
you want the copied records to go. If you use a wildcard in the search address, you
must use that wildcard in the replace address. For instance, if you copied C5:*,
you could select C25:* as the replace address, which would copy all the records in
C5 to C25.
4. Type the address (including wildcards) where you want the copied records to go.
Press [Enter] .
Wildcard example: If you specify C25:1? as the search address, and C25:4? as
the replace address, the system will copy C25:10 - C25:19 to C25:40 - C25:49.
5. The system asks if you want to perform an automatic search and replace.
§ If you want to copy the whole block automatically, select [F1] Yes .
§ If you want to confirm each address in the block, select [F5] No .
6. Because the symbols associated with a record must be unique unless they are local
to a single program file, the system asks you to specify the program file for local
assignment. Type the program file number identifying the destination of the
symbols, and press [Enter] . If you type 0 (meaning global) for the file number,
symbols will not be copied to the destination.
