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 routine: getnumb.fc
A RAD routine used to establish the numbering sequence in sequential numbering. You can create simple identification numbers for database records, or complex numbers composed of prefixes and suffixes.
Routine
getnumb.fc
Parameters
The following parameters are valid for the getnumb.fc routine:
| Name | Data type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| record | record | Yes | The data record where the number will be placed. The value of this parameter must be $file. |
| name | character | Yes | The sequential number Class (category) of the record that the Format Control record is attached. This value appears in the Class field of the Sequential Numbering File. |
| prompt | character | Yes | Names the field in the data record where the sequential number appears. |
| text | character | No | Defines the data type of the sequential number (number or string). |
| number1 | number | No |
Defines the length of the sequential number. The subroutine prefixes as many zeroes to the number as necessary to match the required number of digits. Pass the val() RAD function to the number1 parameter. For example, a four-digit number has a value of Where: The number |
| string1 | character | No | Defines the prefix. This is the identifying character string that appears before the number. |
| numbers,1 | array (numbers) |
No | Determines the reset point for the sequential number. When the value passed to the application is reached, the sequential number resets to the starting value. |
| numbers,2 |
array (numbers) |
No | Establishes a new starting value for the sequential number when the reset point is reached. |
| numbers,3 |
array (numbers) |
No | Sets the increment or decrement value. For example, if you want to increment by 2, displaying odd or even numbers only. |
| numbers,4 |
array (numbers) |
No | Allows the user to increment or decrement the sequential number independent of the number file. Use this parameter to attach a specified number to your records without updating the number file. |
