    To retrieve a group of records based on more sophisticated search criteria than what QueryFind allows, you can use a feature called Query-by-Example to specify complex search criteria

    in most of the fields of your current block. The search criteria can include specific values,

    phrases containing wildcard characters, and phrases containing query operators to help you

    pinpoint the data of interest.

    In addition, if you do not actually need to retrieve the records from a Query-by-Example search,but only want to know how many records match your search criteria, you can perform a query

    count to save yourself some time.

    To Use Query-by-Example

    1. Select View Query By Example Enter.

    2. Enter search criteria in any of the fields, using wildcard characters and/or query operators as

    necessary. You can also select View Show Last Criteria to display the search criteria used in

    your last search, if there was one.

    3. Select View Query by Example Run to perform the search.

    4. Select View Query by Example Cancel to cancel from Enter Query mode.

    To Obtain a Query Count
