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 |

RAD expression syntax errors
The wizard stops executing, and the user is returned to the calling application with the following error message(s) at the top of the screen:
Process panel <panel name> in RAD wizard.run encountered error in line 2 (wizard.run,<panel name>)
Process panel init.expr in RAD wizard.run encountered error in line 2
(wizard.run,init.expr)
Cannot evaluate expression (wizard.run,init.expr)
Bad arg (2) oper = (wizard.run,init.expr)
Bad arg (3) oper index (wizard.run,init.expr)
Unrecoverable error in application: se.call.process on panel call.rad.1
Unrecoverable error in application: wizard.run on panel init.expr
Cause
These errors are caused by syntax errors in the wizard panels. The panel name gives you a hint as to where the issue occurred.
Bad arg (x) oper operator y indicates improper syntax of a statement or a missing or invalid parameter that is expected to be supplied to the statement.
Bad arg (1 or 2) oper <operator>: arg 1 indicates that the issue is to the left of the <operator>. If it is arg 2, then the issue is to the right of the <operator>. For example, operator can be defined as follows: = , < , > , ~= , ~< , ~> , etc.
Bad arg (1 or 2) oper <in> arg 1 indicates that the issue is to the left of "in" within the statement. If arg is 2, then the issue is to the right of "in" within the statement.
Bad arg (x) oper <function> indicates that the number of the parameter that was passed to the function is invalid.
The following table will help you find where in the wizard panel the error occurred and where to make the fix.
| RAD application/panel | Where to fix |

Fix
Correct syntax for RAD expressions is discussed in the System Language topics in the Service Manager Online Help. You can view this help by clicking Help > Help Contents if you are using a Windows client, or pressing F1 if you are using a web client.
The correct syntax for assigning a value to a field is as follows:
<field> in $L.file=value
To compare the values of two fields to each other, use the following syntax:
<field1> in $L.file=<field2> in $L.file
Any concatenated statement containing a field name and a variable needs to be entered as follows:
"agreement.id=" +$G.test where $G.test is numeric or Boolean.
"agreement.id =\"" + $G.test + "\"" where $G.test is a character.
"agreement.id='" + $G.test + "'" where $G.test is a date/time.
