Some special values are also provided by LANSA to control how the Help text is displayed. These special values all begin with $$. Following are a few examples:
Special Value | Effect |
|---|---|
$$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 | Designates technical help text. |
$$RIGHT | Causes help text to be right aligned when displayed. |
$$PAGEC | Causes page number to be inserted into the text. |
|
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.
For a complete list of values, refer to the Technical Reference Guide:
