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 |

Defining additional events
A new event can be defined and called by Format Control calculations, in the case that a specific condition must be checked for the event to occur at specialized times.
The syntax generally used to check for an event is as follows.
(x=o, q, or l): if (condition=true) then ($ocmx.events.pntr in
$ocmx.events=“event name”;$ocmx.events.pntr+=1)
- The variable $ocmx.events (where x = the area q, o, or l) is an array of character strings used to track the events that occur during a particular phase of processing.
- The variable $ocmx.events.pntr is a pointer to the next array element that can be used to record an event name.
Important: Once an event has been added to the array, it is important to increment the pointer by 1 (one). If this does not happen, the event previously recorded will be overwritten.
The event that is scheduled if the condition is true must be defined in the ocmevents file.
