Support : Dialog Search Aids : Successful Searching : SET : SET Un

SET (continued)

SET Un

You can use the SET Un command to create a user-defined format for your current search session. Enter SET Un (where n is a number 1 through 9) followed by the display codes you want to include. You cannot include predefined numbered formats, other U-numbered formats, or KWIC in a SET Un command.

Dialog responds to a SET Un command with a confirmation of the format and the cost per record for that format in the database to which you are currently connected. This Un will be retained until you change it or enter LOGOFF.

To SET and save a user-defined format permanently to your user account, include the command in your account profile.

• To establish a user-defined format U4:

?set u4 ti,pn,pd
User Defined Format 4 is set to TI PN PD.
     Type/Display Estimated Cost: $  3.39 - (File 654).
     Print        Estimated Cost: $  3.39.

(File 654: U.S. Patents Fulltext)
