'JOHNSON MICHAEL \' - THIS FORMAT WOULD BE ENTERED WHEN THE USER KNOWS
ONLY THE SOLDIER'S FIRST AND LAST NAME. THE SYSTEM WILL RETURN ALL SOLDIERS
WITH THIS FIRST AND LAST NAME REGARDLESS OF THEIR MIDDLE NAME OR INITIALS.
'JOHN\' - THIS FORMAT WOULD BE ENTERED WHEN THE USER KNOWS
ONLY A PORTION OF THE SOLDIER'S LAST NAME. THE SYSTEM WILL RETURN ALL
SOLDIERS WHOSE NAME BEGIN WITH THE LETTERS ENTERED (E.G., JOHN, JOHNS, JOHNSON,
JOHNSTON, ETC.).
THE USER MAY SELECT UP TO FIVE LEVELS BY WHICH THE SELECTED RECORDS WILL BE
SORTED. THE 'SORT SELECTION (YES/NO/SSN): ' INPUT FIELD IN THE LOWER LEFT
CORNER OF THE SCREEN REQUIRES A 'Y', 'N', OR 'S' ENTRY TO INDICATE WHETHER
THE REQUESTED RECORD SHOULD BE SORTED OR NOT. THE DEFAULT FOR THE SORT
REQUEST FIELD IS 'N'. IF THE USER ENTERS A 'Y' IN THIS FIELD AND PRESSES THE
'ENTER' KEY, THE NEXT SCREEN DISPLAYED IS THE 'SORT SELECTION' SCREEN
(ZJU-LQ6). IF THE USER ENTERS 'S' IN THIS FIELD THE CHOSEN RECORDS WILL BE
SORTED BY SSN.
ERROR MESSAGES WILL BE PROVIDED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN WHEN ERRONEOUS
DATA HAS BEEN ENTERED IN ONE OR MORE OF THE AVAILABLE FIELDS, WHEN DATA HAS
BEEN ENTERED IN THE TOP AND BOTTOM PORTIONS OF THE SCREEN, OR WHEN AN INVALID
FUNCTION KEY HAS BEEN PRESSED.
YOU MAY ALSO USE THE "WHERE NEXT” INPUT FIELD TO TAKE YOU TO ANOTHER FUNCTION.
FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THE PERSONNEL QUERY, TYPE "PQ" AND PRESS THE
"ENTER" KEY.
