Naomi,

Thanks for the reply.

The search is used throughout the entire system. There is a small .prg wrapper that is called like this

=l3lookup("FIEL=[M.user_input]EXPR=[status]" +;
"ALIA=[status] + TAG=[status] + ORDE=[status]", ;
"status:r:h=[]", ;
"","M.user_input","Titl=[Status]" + ;
"WROW=[12]WCOL=[12]Colo=[10]")

It allows display of 2 or more columns in a table.
The user can arrow between columns, changing the search key at the same time.
i.e. If my cursor is in the SLSMNCOD field, keystrokes trigger an incremental search on SLSMNCOD. If the user arrows over to the NAME field, the search is now on NAME field.

USMARC is the cataloging specs, published by Library of Congress for all publications.

Check out: http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/
MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data: Table of Contents (Network Development and MARC Standards Office, Library of Congress)

We wrote a system for a bookseller that allows him to provide MARC records and book labels with books he sells. This is a requirement for selling books to libraries.


TIA,
Dan
