1.3.2 Extending programming help
A special entry in the "Extended help" parameter of the instruction definition makes it
possible to integrate an extended help in addition to the quick help (e.g., detailed information
on the selected command).
The following calls are possible:
•
Editor help:
Jump directly to the help (PDF file) from the quick "ASCII" help for a term (command) in
the program editor.
Preconditions:
A list of additional commands which are to be displayed in the quick help has already
been created as described in Section "Extension of text files" (e.g., IFM_GR.COM) and is
stored in the controller. This allows you to call up the extended help after the quick help
using the Info key. Please note that the list of commands for the quick help is identical to
the list for the extended help (concordance).
•
Cycle help:
Jump to the help (PDF file) from an input field of the cycle screen.

1) Define jump labels in document
The jumps must be identified by an index entry and a single-column index list (right-justified
page numbers) must be generated in the document (e.g., Winword) from which sections are
to be displayed on the controller as a PDF.
If several jumps are required for one command, the same number of index labels must be
created.
