Most Update Processor commands work the same whether or not dictionary attributes are in control. Certain commands function differently when certain conditions are met. These commands provide the functionality for browsing on indexes. The cruising commands can be used in a double clutching fashion by specifying the index for the current file I and a second index for another file. CTRL+U and CTRL+Y cruise on legal instances in the pointed to file staying in the same item. CTRL+F and CTRL+D cruise on other items in the same file using the index for the attribute as a guide.

CTRL+D |
On an attribute with an index, the sentence backward command goes to the previous sequential index and gets the corresponding item into the Update Processor workspace. If the current item has been changed, the user is prompted to exit the current item or to cancel the request and go to another item. |
|
CTRL+F |
On an indexed attribute, the sentence forward command goes to the next sequential index and gets the corresponding item into the Update Processor workspace. If the current item has been changed, the user is prompted to either exit the item or to cancel the request and go to another item. |
|
CTRL+G |
When in an attribute which indexes to another file or has a translate code in the input processing code, this command pushes the current process one level and calls Update Processor again with the item pointed to in the new file as the argument. If the macro attribute (attribute 15) in the primary file attribute definition item is used, this list is appended to the update statement. This is known as zooming. |
|
CTRL+U |
If the attribute indexes to another file, the word forward command gets the next sequential item from the pointed to file as the value for this attribute. |
|
CTRL+Y |
If the attribute indexes to another file, the word backward command gets the previous sequential item from the pointed to file as the value for this attribute. |
