What is select and search prompt?
Answer Posted / harisudhakar velagacherla
Value Prompt Limitation:
If you do prompting for a range of values(specified range)
using IN_RANGE operator,under FROM and TO tabs a range of
available values will be displayed.In that you need to
select the values.Incase if the available values are in a
range of decimals ,it is difficult to select .
EX:0-5000$(values to be prompted).You can not enter this
specified range.under FROM tab, you need to search for 0&
value and under TO tab ,you need to select 5000& from the
available values.Values displayed under FROM ,TO tab will
be in random.imagine if the values are in decimals
(ex:5000.009) ,then Is it easy to select the value
(5000.009)under TO tab ,if the values displayed in random?
To overcome this...we need to go for Text PROMPT for
prompting Specified range.what ever range you specified ,it
willbe get prompted.
when you need to cascade,use either value or select&search
Prompt.
Select & search Prompt:
when you need prompt the values that contains or starts
with specific characters then,enter them under SELECT tab
and then click SEARCH tab.Then maching values will be
displayed in search box.select the values and click right
arrow to move this values to diplay box and click finish
(click next if another prompt presents).
in short it is used to display one 0r multiselect values
(=,IN operators).IN_Range operator cannot be available.
