Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Internationalizing Applications

Word-break tables

OpenEdge uses word-break tables to process 4GL queries that use the CONTAINS operator of the WHERE option of the record phrase.

The following example shows a 4GL query that uses CONTAINS:

FOR EACH customer WHERE comments CONTAINS "credit hold": DISPLAY name cust-num comments. END.

This chapter focuses on the use of word-break tables in international applications. For a general discussion of word-break tables, see OpenEdge Development: Progress 4GL Handbook .
