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 |

rtecall("qbeform") function
A RAD function that returns a record list form, which can be passed into a rio (Record Display/Input) Command panel or fdisp panel. You can insert this
function into a format file handle using the contents() function. The following example shows the syntax to use in the
contents function: contents($L.format) = $L.qbe.form.
Function
rtecall("qbeform")
Format
$L.success.flg= rtecall($L.fnc.name,$L.return.code,$L.file,$L.qbe.form)
Parameters
The following parameters are valid for the rtecall("qbeform") function:
| Parameter | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| $L.success.flg | Logical | Indicates whether or not the function was successful. |
| $L.fnc.name | String | The name of the subfunction to call; in this case "qbeform". |
| $L.return.code | Number | Provides a more detailed return code. |
| $L.file | File | The file handle used to generate the record list. For example, obtain the contacts table by using the "rinit" panel. |
| $L.qbe.form | Structure | The resulting record list form returned as a structure. |
Factors
If the $L.success.flg is false, the function failed. If it is true, the function succeeded.
Example
$L.success.flg= rtecall("qbeform",$L.return.code,$L.file,$L.qbe.form)
