In which scenario would you use the *OUTPUTNEW* command?

If you want to duplicate existing fields.
If you want to replace existing field values.
If you do not want to overwrite existing fields.
If you need to adjust input values in the search.

The correct answer is: If you do not want to overwrite existing fields.

The *OUTPUTNEW* command is specifically designed to create new fields or output existing fields without overwriting any existing field values. This command ensures that the original fields remain intact while allowing you to define new fields or modify field values in a manner that doesn’t interfere with the existing data. This is particularly useful when you want to introduce alterations or additional metadata into your search results while preserving the original context of your data. By using *OUTPUTNEW*, you can avoid potential data loss or unintended consequences that could arise from overwriting fields. Choosing this option reflects an understanding of the importance of maintaining data integrity while still enhancing the context provided by the search results. The other options do not align with the functionality of *OUTPUTNEW*, as they either imply duplication or replacement of field values, which does not accurately represent the purpose of this command.
