Model 672/675 Technical Reference Manual
2-23
This is the same as method A, except the row that is being searched for is the one whose data in the
selected column matches the entry that was made. This selection is used when the information to be
searched has not already been entered into the Model 672/675.
UPDATE ROW (FUNCTION 2)
A. [ENTER] key alone:
For the "Updte row" command, the most recently accessed row in the current database is updated with the
corresponding data from the parameters defined for that database. If the last attempt to locate something in
the current database was not successful, a new row is created.
This selection is most often used after a row of data has been recalled. After one or more of the parameters
defined as a column are changed (such as total amount on hand), the row in memory is updated with the
revised information.
B. An entry followed by the [ENTER] key:
The first row in the currently selected database whose selected column matches the entered data is located.
This row is updated with the information of the other parameters defined in that database.
Unless otherwise specified, the selected column defaults to being the first column. Thus, if the first column is
set up as VAR#1 (VAR# 80.1), and the entry made was "ABC" [ENTER], the current database is searched
from the beginning, for a row in which "ABC" is the data in the first column.
The located row is changed so all other columns in it match the current values of their corresponding
parameter. If a matching row is not found, a new row is created using the values from the corresponding
parameters.
MAKE ROW (FUNCTION 3)
A. [ENTER] key alone:
For the "Make row" command, a new row is created using the corresponding data from the parameters
defined for the currently selected database. Data in any or all columns can be a duplicate of other existing
rows.
This selection is used most often when storing transaction data to memory when all data to be stored has
already been entered into the Model 672/675.
B. An entry followed by the [ENTER] key:
A new row is created in the currently selected database. The entered data is stored in the selected column
and the other columns are copies of the data from their corresponding parameters. Data in any or all
columns can be a duplicate of other existing rows.
This selection is used most often when storing transaction data to memory when the key field (such as part
number) has not already been entered in to the Model 672/675.
PRINT DATABASE (FUNCTION 4)
A. [ENTER] key alone:
The "Print dbase" command causes the stored data to be transmitted in a report format. "Enter Comm#" is
displayed, prompting you to specify which port should be used, for example, COMM 1, 2, 3 or 4. Key in [1]
for COM1, [2] for COM2, [3] for COM3 or [4] for COM4, and press [ENTER]. Refer to the printer
documentation for details about the format for this transmission.
This selection is normally used to generate hard copy reports of the information stored within the Model
672/675. It can also be useful in generating an end of day report.
