Reviewing Existing Tag Notes

You can create more tag notes for other strings. In this exercise, however you will reopen the Tag note you just created.

An existing note is opened by positioning the cursor on any character in the tagged string and pressing the TAGNOTE key (PF06/PF18).

The cursor can be positioned on the tagged string either by using the arrow keys or the LOCNOTE command (abbreviated LOCN). The LOCNOTE command locates the next tagged string even if it appears on a later page.

Before using the LOCNOTE command to position the cursor on the tagged string, scroll back to the top of the page.

1. Press the UP key (PF07/PF19) to display the top of the report.
2. Type LOCN in the COMMAND field and press Enter.

   The report scrolls down and the cursor is positioned on the tagged string.

3. Press the TAGNOTE key (PF06/PF18) to open the previously defined Tag note.

   Previously defined notes are displayed in protected (Browse) mode. They cannot be modified unless the UPDATE key (indicated in the first instruction line near the bottom of the window) is pressed. Note the following:

   • The word BROWSE appears in the upper left corner of the window. In Edit mode, the word Edit appears.
   • The instruction lines at the bottom of the window are different in Browse and Edit mode.
   • The same key that opened the note (PF06/PF18) is used as the UPDATE key in Browse mode, to change the mode to Edit mode.
   • The color of the note text is different in Browse and Edit mode.

   You can now change the text of the note.

4. Press the UPDATE key (PF06/PF18) to display the note in Edit mode.

5. Correct the string (Rm. 06) so that it says (Rm. 05).

   Several options are listed in the instruction line at the bottom of a Tag Note window in Edit mode. The DELETE key (PF08/PF20) is used to delete the note. The CLEAR key (PF07/PF19) erases all existing text in a note; this can simplify the rewriting of a note. The END key (PF03/PF15) exits the note.

6. Press the END key (PF03/PF15).

   The Exit Option window prompts whether to save the changes to the note.

7. Type Y (Yes) and press Enter.

   The modifications to the note are now saved.

   Note: Tag notes are linked to rulers. To make a Tag note accessible when a specific ruler is active, that ruler must be active when the Tag note is defined. To make a Tag note accessible when no ruler is active, ensure that no ruler is active when the Tag note is defined.

   The Tag note that you have just defined is accessible when ruler DEFAULT is active.

   You have finished this chapter of the Online Viewing Guide. You can now exit the Online Viewing facility.

8. Type =X in the COMMAND field and press Enter.

You have now exited the Control-D Online Viewing facility and returned to your regular operating environment.
