Special Value |
Effect |
|---|---|
$$LANGUAGE |
Indicates the language of the help text. |
$$FLDNAM |
Inserts the name of the field. |
$$NOAUTO |
Indicates that automatic help text should not be generated. |
$$USER |
Designates end user help text. |
$$TECH |

$$RIGHT |
Causes help text to be right aligned when displayed. |
$$PAGEC |

For example, you can enter user and technical help as follows:
$$USER
This text is displayed to an end-user when the application executes.
$$TECH
This text is not displayed to the end-user. It is displayed to developers only.
