Dialog ERA^SM (Electronic Redistribution and Archiving) Options

The Dialog ERA (Electronic Redistribution and Archiving) service enables you to electronically store and distribute Dialog search results to coworkers in your organization. Databases participating in ERA are listed in HELP ERAFILES; databases not participating are listed in HELP NOERA.

The following ERA options may be used with the TYPE command:

ARCHIVE n (abbreviated ARC n). Displays your search results as specified in the TYPE command, and grants you the right to electronically store the results on an in-house system and have n number of people in your organization access the information. ARCHIVE n covers only the number of people accessing the internal system's single machine/server on which the data resides.

• To TYPE 10 items in Format 9 from set S7, archiving items in an internal database for access by 50 members of your organization:

?type s7/9/1-10 archive 50

REDIST n (abbreviated RED n). Displays your search results as specified in the TYPE command and grants you the right to make n number of copies of the results to use within your organization.

• To TYPE all records in Format 9 from set S5, receiving the right to distribute 100 copies within your organization:

?type s5/9/all redist 100

FROM Option

When searching multiple files in OneSearch^®, you can specify file numbers in the TYPE command with the word FROM (e.g., TYPE S2/6/1-10 FROM 47). If you do not include the word FROM in a OneSearch TYPE command, the system defaults to displaying records from the first database listed in the BEGIN or SET FILES command, followed by the next database on the list, etc. If you use the FROM option in a OneSearch, FROM must be the last element of the TYPE command line.

• To use the FROM option in OneSearch:

?type s2/6/1 from 1

 2/6/1     (Item 1 from file: 1)
EJ445145   SO523163
 Potpourri of Instructional Technology Resources.

If you want to type selected records from each database in the OneSearch session, use the FROM EACH option with your TYPE command (e.g., TYPE S2/3/1-5 FROM EACH).

• To use the FROM EACH option in OneSearch:

?type s2/6/1 from each

 2/6/1     (Item 1 from file: 1)
EJ445145   SO523163
 Potpourri of Instructional Technology Resources.
