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: option
A RAD function that returns the number of the last interrupt key. For example, 0 = Enter, 1 = first option key, 2 = second option key.
Function
option
Format
option()
Factors
- The Enter key returns a value of zero (0).
- Use caution when option() is a criteria for a decision or process panel that can be accessed from several paths. To avoid conflicts, set a variable to option() when the first panel is accessed.
- Clicking a button returns the number defined in the Button ID property.
- Clicking an item in the More menu returns the GUI option number associated with this option in the displayoption table.
Example
option() returns 10.
