The document(s) is/are identified via the signature table, that is, by the parameter
SIGNATURE . This table is used to perform both the query and the response: If you specify what you know about the document or documents concerned, a hit list of the documents that correspond to the criteria is displayed. Attributes of one or more documents can be transferred in the signature table. The signature table has the following fields:Field |
Description |
DOC_COUNT |
Document counter This field counts individual document variants. There may be several entries per variant. If so, the individual entries differ only in the fields attribute name and attribute value. |
DOC_ID |
Document identification |
DOC_VER_NO |
Document version number |
DOC_VAR_ID |
Document variant ID |

The more fields you specify, the fewer hits will be found. This gives you the option of restricting your search to just one variant, for example.
