Which method helps distinguish parameters that search the base master file from those that search additional master files?

• A. By looking at the Basic tab for each criterion.
• B. By checking the Networked icon next to the parameter.
• C. By viewing the Item value.
• D. By examining the Summary tab.

Answer: (A)

Focusing on where the search scope is defined shows whether a parameter looks only in the base master file or also in extra master files. That setting lives on the Basic tab for each criterion. The Basic tab is where the core behavior is configured, including whether the search is restricted to the base master file or extended to additional master files. If you want a quick check, open the criterion and go to its Basic tab—the option there directly indicates the search scope. The other items don’t reveal this scope: the Networked icon indicates linkage or connectivity, not where the search pulls data from; the Item value shows the parameter’s value; and the Summary tab gives a broad overview rather than the per-criterion search configuration.
