3. Type in the message phrase into the field labeled “Message”. You are limited to 32

characters. Blank characters before or after the message are permitted so that

concatenated message phrases do not run together. Your message may contain any

character supported by the particular alpha pagers you are using.

4. You can then type any convenient information into the comments field.

5. Press F9 to save the message record and start a new one. You will see the new

record pop onto the “INDEX” window in exactly the right place.

Find Message

Once you are on the INDEX screen, there are several ways to find an existing message in

the message database. You can 1) use the PgUp and PgDn keys to look through the file by

Index window jumps 2) use the down arrow and up arrow to look at one record at a time or

3) use the direct FIND function.

The F8 key (FIND) commands ZbaseW to search the message database for the closest

match to the record you desire. Matching is performed using the index field you currently

have selected in the INDEX window. You can FIND by message number or by message

content. To change index fields use the left arrow and right arrow in the INDEX window

to move the highlight, which automatically resorts the index by the newly selected index

field.

The following example steps through the FIND process. Suppose we wanted to find the

message beginning with “Emergency”:

1. Position the index field over the Message field in the INDEX window using the

right arrow key. You will notice the INDEX window automatically re-sorts

alphabetically based upon the message fields. Press the F8 key and ZbaseW will

switch the active window to the MESSAGE window and position the cursor in the

message field.

Note To save typing time and avoid mistakes, you can make a new

message look like an existing message but with a different

message number. To do this, find the existing message with the F8

key and fill in the new message number. Go to the message field

and edit as needed. Press the F10 key to save the new record.
