14OCCURRENCE      ARB_NT/Species/Search and Query/Write to fields of Listed
15                ARB_NT/Genome/Search and query/Write to fields of Listed
16                ARB_NT/Genome/Experiment/Search and query/Write to fields of Listed
17
18DESCRIPTION     Writes or appends the same value to the selected field of
19                all listed species/genes.
20
21                If the target field is not a text field, a type conversion
22                takes place. If that conversion results in a different value
23                than the provided one, an error will occur.
24                You may allow lossy conversion by checking the switch.
25
26NOTES           A protection level has to be selected from the Protection
27                menu of the main window (ARB_NT/Protection) equal or higher
28                than that assigned to the selected alignment (ARB_NT/ali_*;
29                third broad rectangular button in the upper part of the
30                main window).

32EXAMPLES
33
34                1. Write a date of sequence modification (03.27.95) to the
35                field 'date' of all listed species (overwriting
36                former entries of this field):
37
38                        Select 'Field':   'date'
39                        Type 'value':     '03.27.95'
40                        Press:            'WRITE'
41
42                2. Add the initials of the modifying person (e.g. "MP") to the
43                   entries stored in the fields 'date' of all listed
44                   species:
45
46                        Select 'Field':    'date'
47                        Type 'value':      'MP'
48                        Press:             'APPEND'

51WARNINGS        Except for the 'name' field (the identifier), there are no different protection
52                levels for different fields. Take care not to write to fields
53                which should contain unique entries for the corresponding
54                species/genes such as accession numbers.
