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". |
|
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. |
Using Boolean Operators
| 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 |

Parameters
The following parameters are valid for the as.delete routine:
| Name | Data type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| file | record | No | The file variable currently being edited. The value is always $file when called from Format Control. |
| name | character | No |
Data is not normally passed to this parameter. The default is the result of executing the cursor.field.name(1) function . The application as.get.name then executes against this result. Note You can pass the name of a specific arrayed structure. If the data passed to this parameter does not contain commas, it is considered to be an arrayed structure name. If a comma is found, the application as.get.name executes against the data. |
| index | number | No |
The number of lines (height property) in the subform that displays the arrayed structure. For example, if the arrayed structure subform contains data on lines 1 and 2, then this parameter is 2. The default value is 1. Note This is not the window size that displays the arrayed structure. When calling the application from Format Control, the value must be passed as a number by using the following syntax: val("n", 1)
