The identification will be depend on many ways
The following are some ways:
1.first thing is that we can see the keywords like SEARCH or
SEARCH ALL
2.Second thing is that the array type(single dimension or
multidimension) that is followed by
SEARCH(multidimension/single dimension) or SEARCH ALL(only
single dimension) keyword.
3.third thing is that what are the relational operators we
used (multiple relational operators can be used in SEARCH
like AND OR etc... but in case of SEARCH ALL Only =
relational operator is allowed )
4.And the fourth one is that(only one when condition will be
used in SEARCH ALL. multiple WHEN conditions can be used in
SEARCH)
Let me know if any other..........
