The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Scott,
I personally found the technique (on the /36) to be quite elegant;
easy to implement and very flexible. If you wanted to process
multiple ranges of records (e.g. reprinting invoices), that was
pretty much easiest way to do it. All it took to retrofit an
existing program was adding 2 lines (an F and E spec) and a small
modification to an F spec.
The selection logic was usually encapsulated in a separate process,
giving even more flexibility. Contrast that with dynamically
building an SQL or OPNQRYF statement, or even worse, FMTDTA!
