• The first block of executable commands requests that the user input a customer name and then builds a list of all customers that have a generically identical name.

• The first DISPLAY command displays the list built by the first block of code. When displayed the list would look something like this:

     _{Sel     Customer name}

      _{_      XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX}     

      _{_      XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX}     

                ^{Sel     Customer name}

                 ^{_      XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX}     

                 ^{_      XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX}     

                 ^{_      XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX}         _{_      XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX}      

         Note the input capable "Sel" column. This resulted from assigning the *SELECT attribute to field #CHOOSE.

...

• Note that like the first example the commands request that a "date order due" be input. A list of all associated orders is then built and displayed. When displayed the list would look something like this:

     _{Sel     Order     Date Due}

                ^{Sel     Order     Date Due}

                       ^{_     9999999     99/99/99}           

                 ^{_     9999999     99/99/99}     

                       ^{_     9999999     99/99/99}           

                 ^{_     9999999     99/99/}99 ⁹⁹     

• The SELECTLIST / ENDSELECT loop requests that all entries in the list that have a non-blank value in field #CHOOSE be processed. However, the loop also acts upon the content of field #CHOOSE to display customer, line item, payment history or status information about the order.
