EXECUTE/EXECUTE STEPS (continued)

EXECUTEing a SearchSave within a New SearchSave

You can use a SearchSave at any time during a search, since its sets are renumbered according to the current set history. However, if you are using the SearchSave within another strategy, and your SearchSave contains set numbers in its command lines, and you plan to also SAVE this new search, you must either EXECUTE the first SearchSave immediately following the BEGIN command, or you must use the EXECUTE STEPS command instead of EXECUTE, so that any set numbers used within the earlier SearchSave remain valid in the new SearchSave.

If you are not going to SAVE the new search, you can EXECUTE the SearchSave at any point during the search session; Dialog will adjust the internal set numbering during the execution process.

Using EXECUTE with Partial SearchSaves

To EXECUTE only certain command lines from a SearchSave, enter EXECUTE STEPS followed by the serial number or name of the SearchSave, a slash, the word "user" followed by your User Id, a second slash, and the line number(s) you want EXECUTEd. If you enter a single line number, only that line will EXECUTE. It is not possible to EXECUTE a partial command line.

Use RECALL if you need to confirm the command lines of a SearchSave before executing all or part of it.

Note: A SearchSave can be used at any time during a search session, since Dialog automatically renumbers its sets according to current set history. If the range of command lines used begins with line 1 (e.g., EXS BLOG/USER 300123/1-2), the sets will be numbered correctly when the set EXECUTEs. However, if the range of lines begins with a line subsequent to the first (e.g., EXS BANKING/user 300123/3-7), the renumbering of sets that occurs as the SearchSave EXECUTEs can cause any set numbers within the commands of the strategy to be incorrect.

To avoid this problem, you may wish to EDIT the original strategy and create a new SearchSave containing only the lines of interest, since you can adjust the set numbers with the Online Editor before running the search.
