Disk Record Scan (option 5.4)

Use this option to find specific data on a disk.

Limit the search to a range of records by entering an extent begin and extent end, as you do for the print function. (See Specifying what you want to print for more information.)

You must specify the type of scan you want performed by entering a value in the Scan type field. Values are:

D: Searches the data field of each record.
K: Searches the key field of each record.
E: Searches for end-of-file records. If you select E, you do not need to specify a search string.

Scanning starts at the scan position (default 1). If you specify that pattern scanning is to be used, then scanning looks for the occurrence of the scan argument anywhere from the start position. If you specify that pattern scanning is not to be used, then scanning looks only at the start position.

If you specify a record length, physical blocks are deblocked into logical records before searching.

The scan argument is the string that you want File Manager to search for. The string can contain up to 50 characters. It has the same format as the find string (see Disk Browse (option 5.1)). The string does not apply if the scan type is E. Otherwise, it is required.

The output of this option is a list of records that meet your search conditions.
