50.3.1 Querying a Bank Deposit

Press the NEXT <F7> button to display the detail form. QUERY a cash receipt by pressing the QUERY <F2> button. Enter one or more search parameters and press the FIND FIRST <F3> button. If more than one record fits the search parameters, you may have to repeatedly press the FIND NEXT <F3> button until the desired record is displayed.

The QUERY and FIND functions search for records in the file by starting at the beginning of the file and proceeding to the end of the file. When the QUERY button <F2> is pressed the first record in the file that matches the search pattern is being queried. When the FIND NEXT button <F3> is pressed the next record in the file that matches the search pattern is displayed.

The QUERY function can be made to start its search with the last matching record by pressing the FIND LAST button, (GOLD key <F1> before pressing the QUERY <F2> key). This means that the last record in the file that matches the search pattern is queried.

The direction of the FIND function's search can also be reversed if the FIND PREVIOUS button, (GOLD key <F1> is pressed just before pressing the FIND <F3> key). As was explained above, each time the FIND NEXT button <F3> is pressed, the next record in the file that matches the search pattern is displayed. By pressing the FIND PREVIOUS button, (GOLD key <F1> before pressing the FIND <F3> key), the direction of the search is reversed and the previous matching record is displayed. The GOLD <F1> FIND <F3> keys and the FIND <F3> key can be used to move back and forth in the file.
