Introduction

This function allows you to add new records to a database file, and to change existing records on the file: one record at a time. The function may be used in either of two modes; '*ADD' mode and '*CHANGE' mode; in '*ADD' mode you may add new records; in '*CHANGE' mode you may change existing records. You may switch between the two modes by means of a function key. Key_screen To add a new database record, you must first enter the new 'key' fields that identify the record, then press ENTER. The function will check that the key doesn't already exist, and either prompt you for the new record details or tell you that it already exists. To update a database record, you must first enter the 'key' fields to identify the record you want. The function will then look for your record, and either display it, or tell you that it cannot find it. Note that if the function already knows the key of the record, it will automatically skip the key screen, and display the record directly.
