A matching file is a pseudo index with unique keys for the records. The overview screen shows all files created (via AFO 114, option 4). From here you can delete them. Viewing/modifying the contents is done in AFO 115.
The files are shown in a list:
Name: Name of the file
Comment: Explanatory description (what the file is for)
Key definition profile: Profile used for this file
Application: Bibliographic (titles) or authorities (e.g. authors)
Database: Valid database name
Savelist: Name of processed savelist (empty when the complete database has been processed)
Status: Ready or Processing
Keys: Number of keys (number/merged/deleted)
Records: Number of records (number/merged/deleted)
When the option “use for merge” has been selected when creating the matching file, the file can be used in AFO 115 to merge records. In that case only duplicate records will be saved in the file.
