APL Advanced Search

The Advanced Search button on the APL database search screen is used to refine your search.

The Advanced Search button expands the page, and the Return to Basic Search button contracts the page.

Each criteria field represents one line of data from Segment B and should contain only information found on the same line within Segment B.
