Comment Lines

You can enter one or more comment lines as part of a SearchSave for future display in a RECALL of the search. Comment lines are useful for recording details about the original search request.

The first character in a comment line must be an asterisk (*). If you enter more than one line, each of the lines must begin with an asterisk. You can enter a maximum of 2,000 characters, including punctuation and spacing. Semicolons (;) cannot be used in comment lines.

PRINT and PRINT TITLE Commands

Because SAVE ALERT uses PRINT and PRINT TITLE commands to generate output when the strategy is run against new records, all three SAVE commands (SAVE, SAVE TEMP, and SAVE ALERT) store PRINT and PRINT TITLE commands. A RECALL of the SearchSave displays these command lines, but they do not EXECUTE when you run the SearchSave online with EXECUTE or EXECUTE STEPS. You must enter PRINT or PRINT TITLE commands separately at the time you EXECUTE the SearchSave.

• To include comment lines and a PRINT TITLE in a SearchSave:

Lead Paragraph: 


JUPITER, Fla.
 -  Nick Johnson did just about everything he could do on a 
baseball field yesterday afternoon. He hit a single, he hit 
two doubles, he ran around the bases, he slid into home 
plate, he fielded a grounder, he scooped a low throw out of 
the dirt.

Caption: 
Nick Johnson went 3-for-3 yesterday, raising his spring 
batting average to .333. [Photo by Rodney Lamkey Jr./The
