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 |
|
|

|

| Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Using fill boxes in script forms
For a Fill box to function properly on a script form, you must create the following additional records:
- Link record: Select Link from the Options menu in Forms Designer and establish a link between the field in your script form and the field in the source file.
- Format Control record: Select Format Control from the Options menu in Forms Designer and add a Format Control record granting Fill privileges.
- Displayscreen record: The displayscreen controls the options that are displayed with a form. Create a displayscreen record in which you define displayoptions for your script forms, including a Fill button. Enter the Screen ID of your new record in the Display Screen field of each script definition that displays a form in which a Fill box appears. You can create unique displayscreen records for each form in the script flow or associate a single record with all the forms.
Note: You can use a combination of displayscreen records and Format Control to activate Fill buttons in your script.
Displayscreen record options
If you create a displayscreen record and want to bind its options to more than one script form, you must enter the local variable $L.script.format in the Format field of the displayscreen record. This variable is hard coded into the script.execute application.
Defining displayoptions for script forms
When defining displayoptions for your script forms, refer to the following list of possible actions that are hard coded into the script.execute application. Your choice of options in the Action field is limited to the values in this list:
- ok
- back
- cancel
- skip
- views
- extend
- find
- fill
- validatefield
- redraw
- re draw
- closeapplication
Note: Use the ok action when defining a Continue option.
