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 |

Validate the validity definitions
The validation routine ensures that field, file, form, and application names referenced in the definition are valid. It also prompts for a data type if you have left the Field Type field blank.
To validate the validity definitions:
- Open a validity record.
- Click Tailoring > Database Manager.
Type validity in the Form field, and then click Search.
A list of the validity form records in your database opens.
Double-click a validity Format Name record, and then click Search.
The Validity Table Specifications form opens.
Click Search.
A list of data validation records opens.
- Select a record.
- Click More or the More Actions icon, and choose Validate.
If the validation routine detects an invalid entry, a message appears in the status bar and a form opens with a list of field names to select the correct entry.
If all the record entries are valid, a message appears in the status bar stating that the validity record entries are valid.
