We use the SCAN:  command to quantify quickly a limited number of assessments of adjustments and partial adjustments. There are three possible scenarios, corresponding to the numbering in the syntax above: (1) scanning the affect of a basic adjustment; (2) scanning the effect of a partial adjustment; and (3) scanning the effect of a withdrawal of sources of information from an adjustment. The fourth form of the syntax, identical in effect to the equivalent ADJUST:  form, is included for completeness only, and can be used to prepare a base for adjustment; such preparation is described in detail in §9.1.4. Generally, use of the SCAN:  command does not affect the current operator (if any), and will not define one.

As far as expectation specifications are concerned, only the current default expectation store is ever referenced; the remainder are ignored. The default expectation store can be changed by using the e  argument to the CONTROL:  command.
