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.

Words and Phrases

Search for Example Results

A single word cat Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".

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.

A phrase.

Move a Global List to a client

To move a global list into client side memory, you call a routine called apm.global.initer.

This routine accepts two parameters:

An array containing the name of the lists that you want.
A keyword, either create or refresh.

When apm.global.initer is invoked with the refresh parameter, it collects the newest version of its list from the server, whether that list already exists in the client’s memory space. If invoked with the create parameter, it collects a list from the server only if a copy does not already exist.

If you are programming in RAD, you can invoke apm.global.initer directly from your code. If you are using the Global Initer to fill combo boxes for display on a form, you can invoke the Global Initer as a subroutine using Format Control for the format in question.
