DISPLAY and PRINT Formats

Any combination of display fields and formats may be used to display or print answers. Multiple codes must be separated by commas or spaces, e.g. D L1 1-5 TI CSP. The fields are displayed or printed in the order requested. Hit-term highlighting is available for some searchable fields. Highlighting must be ON during SEARCH in order to use the HIT, KWIC, and OCC formats.

SELECT, ANALYZE, and SORT Fields

The SELECT command is used to create E-numbers or an L-number containing terms taken from the specified field in an answer set.

The ANALYZE command is used to create an L-number containing terms taken from the specified field in an answer set.

The SORT command is used to rearrange the search results in either alphabetic or numeric order of the specified field(s).
