Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Script forms
You can create unique displayoptions for your script forms which are unrelated to those appearing in the application that executes the script. Changes to the RAD code are unnecessary when creating displayscreen records for this purpose; the appropriate variables have been hard coded into the script.execute application and need only be applied correctly.
Format variable
The format variable for script.execute is $L.script.format and is hard coded into the RAD layer of the application. Enter this variable into the Format field of any displayscreen record to bind its options to multiple script forms. This local variable is bound to the display form you entered in the Format field on the script definition record.
To apply unique options to a single form in a script, name the form in the Format field of the displayscreen record rather than use the local variable.
Display actions
Actions for displayoptions in scripts are defined on a decision panel in the RAD code of the script.execute application. Unless you possess a RAD license and are capable of programming in RAD, you are limited to the following, hard coded actions:
- do nothing
- back
- close
- more
- redraw
