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 function: dayofweek
A RAD function that returns the day of the week for a date, regardless of the date format. The dayofweek function returns 1-7, where 1 is Monday, 2 is Tuesday, 3 is Wednesday, 4 is Thursday, 5 is Friday, 6 is Saturday, and 7 is Sunday.
Function
dayofweek
Format
day=dayofweek($date)
Where the value of $date is a date and time value.
Factors
The set.timezone function affects the way a date is presented, whereas the dayofweek function always extracts the proper day of week value.
Examples
From the RAD debugger type:
d dayofweek(‘11/06/09’)
This expression displays the day of the week of a specific date. (The command d stands for ’display.’) In this example, the value of dayofweek is 5 or Friday.
From the RAD debugger type:
x $Ltoday=dayofweek(‘11/06/09’)
This expression executes the function. (The command x stands for ’execute.’) In this example, you want to assign the value to a variable.
