Graphics QUEST3D Procedure

Ex. Suppose you have defined a search question based on the single test:

T1  *SURN  JACOBSON

• Select NO-HIT

  An example of the hit display might be:

  3 hits after  1000 entries,  97% screenout at ADIPAM10
  9 hits after  2000 entries,  97% screenout at AMTHZL
  9 hits after  3000 entries,  97% screenout at AZFAPD10
  ......................................
  ......................................

(a)

This print option corresponds to a fast continue search mode with display only of the number of hits after every 1000 entries and an indication of the percentage screenout at every 1000th entry.

No information is output to the journal file.

With this print option the default STOP-LIMIT of 1000 hits is ignored and the search continues to the end of the database.

(b)

• Select PRINT

• Please select a style of PRINTOUT from the menu.

(c)

If you change your mind you can toggle off the NO-HIT selection.
