SAMPLE RECORD [top]

Codes that are not preceded by a slash (/) or followed by an equal (=) sign are display codes, e.g., AN.

BASIC INDEX [top]

¹ All textual fields are contained in the Basic Index and are searchable with proximity (W), (N), (S), and (F) operators as well as Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT). Suffixes are not available for all fields.

² Searchable in the Basic Index and in the Additional Indexes.

³ All chemical names are indexed as complete phrases, individual words, and chemically significant segments of words. Use /FW to restrict retrieval to the complete term; e.g., S ETHANE/FW to only select ethane as a single word rather than as a segment of a larger chemical term, such as trichloroethane.

⁴ NA, SY, and CN fields are identical in this database.

⁵ Searchable as /PO in the Basic Index; searchable as DS= in the Additional Indexes.
