"EDIT PAIR HELP"
"The operation of the routine that edits record pairs is quite simple."
"The flashing record pair will be changed."
"You will be prompted to enter the user/assigned record number of the"
"new source record, whether to move data from that record to a new or"
"existing record, and the record number of the target record if it is"
"currently in the target file. At each step you will have the option"
"of entering a new value, or leaving the current value unchanged."
"If a new record will be created during the inter-file update a new"
"record number will be selected automatically. If the number of the"
"source record is available (unused) in the target file the new record"
"will be assigned that number. If not the program will keep adding one"
"to it until an unused number is found and assigned."
"As you specify the record numbers of the source and target of the"
"move pair your entries will be checked for duplicates. If they are"
"dupes you will be informed, and may opt to re-select or abort."
"When both values are entered the new record pair will be checked for"
"dupes in BOTH the source and target. Duplicate pairs are aborted."
"If your pair makes it through the testing process above it will"
"be placed in the pairs list and appear on the pairs BROWSE screen."
"You will be able to find it because the list is maintained in order"
"on the u/a record numbers of the source records."
