Volume 2 Chapter 11 Text Menu *NAME
*PAGE is used to test for entries having a specified journal page.
CSD Contents
For each CSD entry the journal reference is identified by 4 search fields
Most page designations are numeric but some take the form eg. L3,C5 etc. For this reason the page field is searched as text.
Graphics QUEST3D Procedure
Select *PAGE from the TEXT sub-menu and respond to the standard text prompts.
Basic QUEST Procedure
Normally a literature search will involve tests using several of the related keywords.
Ex. Find the structure published in Acta Cryst.,C (Cr.Str.Comm.), volume 41, page 783, year 1985.
T1 *CODE .EQ. 591 T2 *VOLU '^41' where ^ is blank T3 *PAGE '^783' T4 *YEAR .EQ. 1985 QUES T1 .AND. T4 .AND. T2 .AND. T3
It is good practice to enclose the volume and page values within ' marks and to leave a blank space ahead of the leading character. Since these fields are right-adjusted this ensures no irrelevant hits. Thus '^783' will hit only for page 783 and not for page 1783.
Numeric tests are executed faster than text tests; hence the order of tests in the above search question.
Note also that a given publication may contain more than one crystal structure so the first hit is not necessarily the entry which is being sought.
