Partial Column Names

Primary commands that accept a column-name parameter allow you to specify a partial column name instead of the entire name. Simply enter at least the first character of the column’s name. Do not use a wildcard character along with the column name. For example, to locate the column FIRSTNME, enter LOCATE F on the command line. If the partial name qualifies more than one column, you can choose a column from a selection list. Multiple windows display if multiple partial column names are specified for a single command. The following figure shows a sample column selection window.
