Reviewing and Modifying programs
You can review or modify a program at any time. If you have data collected for that program, the only portions you can revie w or
modify are the Prefix and Suffix. This is a safeguard to make sure you do not damage data already collected before it is uploaded. If
you need to modify a program field other than the Prefix and Suffix, upload your data then proceed.
To review or modify your program, get in to PROGRAMMING MODE just as you did when you originally created your program.
Enter the number of your program 1-3, then press 2 at the PROGRAM #X screen.
Use the arrow keys (down, up, right, left) to move through your program. The DOWN and UP arrows move you to each section of the
same prompt; the RIGHT and LEFT arrows move to the next/previous statement/prompt.
You can use the SEARCH key to search for a particular pattern of data (i.e. all prompts starting with ENTER). Press the
SEARCH key and enter the data you want to search for at the SEARCH PATTERN prompt. The search begins at the
beginning of the file and moves forward until a match is found. Once you press the SEARCH key, you will stay in Search
mode until you press the SEARCH key again. While in Search mode, use the arrow keys as follows:
Right Arrow
next matching field
Left Arrow previous matching field
Down Arrow next matching statement numbers' matching field
Up Arrow previous matching statement numbers' matching field
The BEGIN key takes you to the first statement in your program file. Pressing END takes you to the END OF FILE - the last
statement filled out with an Entry Type. You may have unused statements in a program; maybe you deleted a statement
(remember that it reserves the statement number even though you have cleared all prompts) or you may have left gaps on
purpose, to insert new statements later.
If you attempt to edit a program but can only see the Prefix and Suffix, you have data collected in the TriCoder and need to upload
before you can edit other fields in your program.
