Search Results Options

This page describes the Web options for the Search Results options group. Review these options to determine any necessary setup that your organization might need to perform.

AUTHMSG[_lang]

This option defines the wording of 4xx and 5xx authority redirect messages in search results. The option format is:

AUTHMSG=<See reference>|<See Also reference>

The redirect messages accept tokens for inserting data into the redirect messages. For example:

AUTHMSG=%u -- See %w %a %p|%u -- See Also %w %a %p

%u This is replaced by the search term that the WebPAC is directing away from (i.e., the unauthorized term).
%w This is replaced by a special relationship defined in the AUTHMSG_SR Web option.
%a This is replaced by the search term that the WebPAC is directing to (i.e., the authorized term).
%p This is replaced by the value of the Public General Note in the 680 field of the authority record.

This option accepts HTML formatting.

AUTHMSG=<em>%u</em> -- See %w <strong>%a</strong> <span class="authPublicNote">%p</span>|<em>%u</em> -- See Also %w <strong>%a</strong> <span class="authPublicNote">%p</span>

If this option is not defined, the system uses the following setting:

AUTHMSG=%u -- See %w %a|%u -- See Also %w %a

This option can vary by language.

AUTHMSG_SR[_lang]

This option controls the display of Special Relationship information from subfield w, byte 0 of the 4xx or 5xx fields to specific result types. The option format is:

AUTHMSG_SR=<value><message>|<value><message>|...

Where <value> is the value of of subfield w, byte 0 in the authority record (if defined) and <message> is the message to display with the %w token in the AUTHMSG option based on that value. Typical values and associated messages include:

Value Message
a the earlier heading
b the later heading
d the full form of the heading
f a musical composition based on this work
g the narrower term
h the broader term

For example:

AUTHMSG_SR=athe earlier heading|bthe later heading|gthe narrower term|hthe broader term

If this option is not defined, the WebPAC uses the following default setting:

AUTHMSG_SR=gthe narrower term|hthe broader term

This option can vary by language.

BODYPARAM

This option is used to specify colors and other global display options, such as BACKGROUND, VLINK, and others for system-generated WebPAC pages. The WebPAC applies these values to all system-generated pages created by the WebPAC unless overridden by a cascading style sheet. This option does not affect the display on customizable Web forms.

The value of this option are HTML parameters and accompanying color values. For example:

BODYPARAM=BGCOLOR=#ADEAEA

All elements for this option are entered into a single BODYPARAM value, separated by spaces. For example:

BODYPARAM=BGCOLOR=#ADEAEA VLINK=#8C1717 LINK=#00009C

If you have more than one scope on your Innovative server, there can be separate sets of options for each scope, separated by a comma, for example:

BODYPARAM=BGCOLOR=#ADEAEA,BGCOLOR=#FFFF00,BGCOLOR=#00000

The first entry (#ADEAEA) is for the entire database, the second (#FFFF00) is for the first scope (s1), and so on.

Another example is:

BODYPARAM=BGCOLOR=#ADEAEA,BGCOLOR=#FFFF00 VLINK=#8C1717,VLINK=#8D2311

The first BGCOLOR (#ADEAEA) and VLINK (#8C1717) apply to the entire database, while the second BGCOLOR (#FFFF00) and VLINK (#8D2311) are for the first scope.

BRIEF[_itag]

This option specifies additional data to display in the first line of a two-line index browse along with the heading that is being searched. This additional data is separated from the heading by spaces and a colon as shown below:

HEADING : <BRIEFDATA>

Depending on the value of the BRIEF option, the extra data in the first line is one of the following combinations of fields from the bibliographic record:

  A   Author. Note that if the search was in the Author index, then the author will not display in the two-line browse.
  B   Location (from the bibliographic record)
  C   Call Number (from the bibliographic record). Note that if the search was in the Call Number index, then the call number will not display in the two-line browse.
  F   If the record contains the value 'f' in the BCODE3 field, indicating the record is linked to a Full Text record, the WebPAC displays an option to access the Full Text.
  H   The contents of the bibliographic record's 'h' field (LIB HAS)
  I   ISBN. Note that if the search was in the ISBN index, then the ISBN will not display in the two-line browse.
  J   Journal Title from the j field (used in reference databases only). Note that if the search was in the journal title index, then the title will not display in the two-line browse.
  K   Call Number (from the item record). Note that if the search was in the Call Number index, then the call number will not display in the two-line browse.
  L   Item Location. Note that the item location displays only when the LOCATION field in the bib record is "multi". Otherwise, the bib record's LOCATION displays. This value must not be used together with the S or T values.
  M   CAT DATE in the format mm-yy (for use only in non-bibliographic reference databases)
  O   The value of the Code used for material type to determine which fixed-length field code in the bibliographic record to use for the material type. The system displays a textual label for this field unless the IMAGE_MATTYPEx Web option specifies a setting for the particular material type.
  P   The value of the Code used for material type to determine which fixed-length field code in the bibliographic record to use for the material type. The system displays a textual label for this field unless the IMAGE_MATTYPEx Web option specifies a setting for the particular material type.


  R  
For resource record searches, this setting displays a link in the first line of each two-line index browse result. The hotlink text is: Connect. The URL for the hotlink is taken from the y-tagged field of the resource record.
  S   STATUS from the item record. Note that this value must not be used together with the L or T values.
  T   Both the LOCATION and STATUS from the item record. Note that this must not be used together with the L or S values.
  U   Title. Display only the title without requiring the values 0-7. Note that if the user searched the Title index the WebPAC does not display the title in the 2-line browse.
  Y   CAT DATE year in the format yyyy (for use only in non-bibliographic reference databases)

Any combination of the above values can be specified. For example:

BRIEF=CLY

This will display the Call Number, item Location, and CAT DATE year from the bibliographic record to the right of the heading in the first line. If this option is not defined, then only the heading that is being searched displays on the first line.

A predefined combination of bibliographic record fields can be displayed by specifying one of the following numbers instead of a letter combination:

BRIEF=0 Title and Year of Publication
BRIEF=1 Title, Year, and Location
BRIEF=2 Title, Year, and Call Number
BRIEF=3 Title, Year, Location, and Call Number
BRIEF=4 Title, Year, and Journal Title (used in reference databases)
BRIEF=5 Title, Year, Journal Title, and bib Location
BRIEF=6 Title, Year, Journal Title, and Call Number
BRIEF=7 Title, Year, Journal Title, Call Number, and bib Location

Multiple BRIEF options can be set up, each for a different index tag, by appending an underscore and the index tag character before the '=' character. For example:

BRIEF_a=AL Controls the display of Author (itag a) searches
BRIEF_t=CL Controls the display of Title (itag t) searches

See Viewing the Brief and Extended Display for more information on WebPAC browse screens.

BROWSE[_itag]

Before Setting this Web Option

Staff setting the BROWSE Web option should be familiar with your library's index rules.

The BROWSE option controls the display of indexed and non-indexed MARC subfields on the first line of a two-line Index Browse and Record Browse display and those that display on a one-line browse screen (the second line of two-line record browse screens is controlled by the EXTENDED option).

The value for the BROWSE option is:

BROWSE=[marctag]/[indexedsub]/[nonindexedsub]|[marctag]/[indexedsub]/[nonindexedsub]|...

Element Valid Values Description
[marctag] Numeric characters The value of complete MARC field tag, without indicators of the field controlled by this element (for example, 245).
If this element is not defined, the system associates subsequent subfield values with the first t-tagged field in the record.
[indexedsub] Alphanumeric characters and the hyphen ('-') The indexed subfields associated with the [marctag] value to display in the browse as hyperlinked text. Use the hyphen to indicate a range (for example, a-f, b-dhkm-p). Omit indexed subfields to suppress from the browse display.
[nonindexedsub] Alphanumeric characters and the hyphen ('-') The non-indexed subfields associated with the [marctag] value to display in the browse as plain text. Use the hyphen to indicate a range (for example, q-z). Omit non-indexed subfields to suppress from the browse display.

If the BROWSE option is not defined, the system displays all indexed subfields associated with the record as hyperlinks and all non-indexed subfields associated with the record as plain text within the display limitations for the browse.

You can omit any element of the BROWSE option's value, but the delimiting forward slash ('/') entries are required. For example:

BROWSE=240//cd

This setting displays subfields a and b from the MARC 240 field as hotlinks (by default) and subfields c and d as regular text.

You can create separate BROWSE options for different index tags by appending an underscore followed by the tag letter as shown below:

BROWSE_a= Controls browse options for the a index
BROWSE_t= Controls browse options for the t index
Special Itag Values
Setting Definition
BROWSE_r For Course Reserve searches by course, this setting controls the index browse. For Course Reserve searches by Professor/TA, this setting controls the record browse.
BROWSE_p For Course Reserve searches by course, this setting controls controls the record browse. For Course Reserve searches by Professor/TA, this setting controls the index browse.

You can repeat the [marctag]/[indexedsub]/[nonindexedsub]|[marctag]/[indexedsub]/[nonindexedsub] element by separating each combination with a vertical bar ('|').

There can be only one BROWSE option of a given index tag. For example, there can not be two BROWSE_t options or two generic BROWSE options. All specifications for a particular index tag must appear as the value for a single BROWSE option. Any index tag that does not have a dedicated BROWSE_[itag] option displays using the generic BROWSE option (i.e., the one without the "_[itag]" suffix).

Examples:

Setting Description
BROWSE=245/a-d/ef For MARC 245 fields, the a through d subfields display as hotlinks and subfields e and f display as regular text. The WebPAC does not display other subfields from this field.
BROWSE=/abef/cg-j Note that the [marctag] subelement is empty in this example. For the first t-tagged field in the record, the 'a', 'b', 'e', and 'f' subfields display as hotlinks and subfields 'c' and 'g' through 'j' display as regular text. No other subfields from this field display.
BROWSE=970/t/ Note that the [nonindexedsub] subelement is empty in this example. For MARC 970 fields, the 't' subfield displays as a hotlink and 'c' through 'z' display as regular text.
BROWSE=245/a-d/ef|970/t/|/abef/cg-j The last element ("/abef/cg-j") controls the display of all fields that are neither MARC 245 nor MARC 970 as well as all non-MARC fields.
BROWSE_t=245/ab/ct|240/abc/txyz|970/t/|/ab/c-z This setting means:
  • For MARC 245 title fields, the a and b subfields display as hotlinks and the c and t subfields display as regular text
  • For MARC 240 title fields, the a, b, and c subfields display as hotlinks and the t, x, y, and z subfields display as regular text
  • For MARC 970 title fields, the t subfield displays as a hotlink and subfields c through z display as regular text
  • For all other t-tagged fields, the a and b subfields display as a hotlink and subfields c through z display as regular text
The BROWSE Web option and Browse Displays
  • For Index Browses that are controlled by a BROWSE option, all subfield data comes from the record itself rather than the index. This means that rotated subfield headings display only in regular form if BROWSE_d is set on your system, regardless of the search query order.
  • If the Index Browses are NOT controlled by a BROWSE option, the system displays data taken from the index unless your library's system has been set up to display that field in non-normalized form (in other words, as found in the record itself). The WebPAC displays indexed subfields of the displayed record as hotlinks. Subfields that are not indexed are not hotlinked when displayed by the WebPAC. All hotlinked subfields display grouped to the left of non-hotlinked subfields. All subfields display in their respective groupings in the same order they are listed in the field.

See Viewing the Brief and Extended Display for more information on WebPAC browse screens.

BROWSE50

When this option is set to a "true" value (any word starting with t, T, y, Y, or the number 1), WebPAC supports a 50 result browse display.

If this option is set to a "false" value (any word starting with f, F, n, N, or the number 0), or is not defined, WebPAC shows a 12 result browse display.

BROWSE_HEADERS[_lang]

This option controls the text displayed as the column headers for the Mark, Medium, and Number columns on the browse display page. The format is:

BROWSE_HEADERS=<Select>|<Format>|<Number>

<Select> Header for the Mark column. If left blank, the WebPAC uses the default text of "Mark."
<Format> Header for the Medium column. If left blank, the WebPAC uses the default text of "Medium."
<Number> Header for the Number column. If left blank, the WebPAC uses the default text of "Num."

An entry of '^' in any of the fields instructs the WebPAC to leave the associated header blank.

This option can vary by language.

BUT_BRIEF

This option defines the graphic image to use for the Brief Headings Display button. For example:

BUT_BRIEF=/screens/brief.gif

BUT_EXTENDED

This option defines the graphic image to use for the Extended Headings Display button, as specified by the EXTENDED option. For example:

BUT_EXTENDED=/screens/extended.gif

BUT_LIMAVAIL

This option defines the graphic image to use for the Limit to Available button. For example:

BUT_LIMAVAIL=/screens/limavail.gif

BUT_LIMIT

This option defines the graphic image to use for the Limit/Sort Search button. For example:

BUT_LIMIT=/screens/limit.gif

BUT_UNLIMAVAIL

This option defines the graphic image to use for the user to return to the complete display of items, including unavailable items, after clicking the BUT_LIMAVAIL button. For example:

BUT_UNLIMAVAIL=/screens/unlimavail.gif

CALLNUM_INDEX_TAGS

This option controls when the WebPAC displays titles in the extended browse call number search results as plain text instead of hotlinks. The value is:

CALLNUM_INDEX_TAGS=[index tags]

Where [index tags] is a list of index tags. When the WebPAC displays call number search results in the extended browse, the system shows results for the listed indexes as plain text instead of hotlinks.

If this option is not defined, the system uses the following default:

CALLNUM_INDEX_TAGS=coi

DISPLAY_245

By default, the WebPAC displays the first t-tagged field in bibliographic records in a Record browse. This option can be used to specify the tags of those indexes for which the MARC 245 field should display in Record browses rather than the first t-tagged field.

For example:

DISPLAY_245=atd

This means that in the Author (tag a), Title (tag t), and Subject indexes (tag d), the 245 field will display in Record browses.

Note that this option does not affect the display of index browses or the 970 field (tag 'k').

EXTENDED[_<itag>]

This option controls the display of the second line of the two-line record browse (the extended display). The first line is controlled by the BROWSE option. The WebPAC always displays the Year of Publication unless suppressed with the SUPPRESS_YEAR option (the Year of Publication does not display in reference databases — see values M and Y below). Depending on the value of the EXTENDED option, the second line also displays one or more of the following fields from the bibliographic record:

  A   Author. Note that, if the user searched the Author index, the system does not display the author in the two-line browse.
  B   Location (from the bibliographic record). If the bibliographic location is "multi", set the L value to display a list of item locations.
  C   Call Number (from the bibliographic record). Note that, if the user searched the Call Number index, the WebPAC does not display the call number in the two-line browse.
  F   If the record contains the value f in the BCODE3 field, indicating the record is linked to a Full Text record, the WebPAC displays an option to access the Full Text.
  H   The contents of the bibliographic record's h field (LIB HAS)
  I   ISBN. Note that, if the user searched the ISBN index, the WebPAC does not display the ISBN in the two-line browse.
  J   Journal Title from the 'j' field (used in reference databases only). Note that, if the user searched the journal title index, the WebPAC does not display the title in the two-line browse.
  K   Call Number (from the item record). Note that, if the user searched the Call Number index, the WebPAC does not display the call number in the two-line browse.
  L   Item Location. This value displays only if the location in the bibliographic record is set to "multi". This value must not be used together with the S or T values.
  M   CAT DATE in the format mm-yy (for use only in non-bibliographic reference databases)
  O   The value of the Code used for material type to determine which fixed-length field code in the bibliographic record to use for the material type. The system displays a textual label for this field unless the IMAGE_MATTYPEx Web option specifies a setting for the particular material type.
  P   The value of the Code used for material type to determine which fixed-length field code in the bibliographic record to use for the material type. The system displays a textual label for this field unless the IMAGE_MATTYPEx Web option specifies a setting for the particular material type.
  S   STATUS from the item record. Note that this value must not be used together with the L or T values.
  T   Both the LOCATION and STATUS from the item record. Note that this must not be used together with the L or S values.
  U   Title. Display only the title. Note that if the user searched the Title index the WebPAC does not display the title in the 2-line browse.
  Y   CAT DATE year in the format yyyy (for use only in non-bibliographic reference databases)

Any combination of the above values can be specified. For example:

EXTENDED=CL

Using this setting, the WebPAC displays the Call Number and item Location from the bibliographic record in the second line.

A predefined combination of bibliographic record fields can be displayed by specifying one of the following numbers instead of a letter combination:

EXTENDED=0 Title and Year of Publication
EXTENDED=1 Title, Year, and Location
EXTENDED=2 Title, Year, and Call Number
EXTENDED=3 Title, Year, Bibliographic Location, and Call Number
EXTENDED=4 Title, Year, and Journal Title (used in reference databases)
EXTENDED=5 Title, Year, Journal Title, and bib Location
EXTENDED=6 Title, Year, Journal Title, and Call Number
EXTENDED=7 Title, Year, Journal Title, Call Number, and bib Location

If the EXTENDED option is not defined, the system uses the default value '3' (Title, Year, Location, and Call Number).

Multiple EXTENDED options can be set up, each for a different index tag, by appending an underscore and the index tag character before the '=' character. For example:

EXTENDED_a=AL Controls display of Author (itag a) searches
EXTENDED_t=CL Controls display of Title (itag t ) searches
NOTE

The Course Reserve itags can not have custom EXTENDED options (i.e., EXTENDED_p and EXTENDED_r are not allowed).

See Viewing the Brief and Extended Display for more information on WebPAC browse screens.

HEADING_LENGTH

This option defines the length of a title display before the system will truncate. This option uses the maximum visible length of the title (i.e., it does not count the raw diacritic) to determine the display.

For example:

HEADING_LENGTH=20

This setting gives a maximum title heading display of 20 characters.

If this option is not set, the system uses a maximum title heading display of 100 characters.

ICON_856LINK[scope][_lang]

This option defines the display properties of the bibliographic 856 link in a brief citation (bibliographic record information that displays on an record browse). The value is HTML, defining either the text or an image to use as the link. If an image is defined, it can be either as a relative or an absolute URL. For example:

NOTE

A suggested style rule to accompany this example is:

.spellcheckToolMore { font-size: 80%; font-weight: bold; }

If this option is not defined, WebPAC does not display a More link in the Spell Check tool.

This option can vary by scope and language.

ICON_SPELLCHECK_SEARCH[scope][_lang]

For organizations who have acquired the Spell Check product, this option defines the Go link from the Spell Check tool. Clicking this link starts a search of the corrected search term from the Spell Check tool. The value of this option is defined in HTML, setting the text, an image, or both to use as the link. If an image is defined it can be either as a relative or an absolute URL. If it is relative, it should be relative to the working directory currently defined for WebPAC.

For example:

ICON_SPELLCHECK_SEARCH=<img src="/screens/go_but.gif" border="0" alt="Submit Search">

If this option is not defined, WebPAC does not display a search link in the Spell Check tool.

This option can vary by scope and language.

IMAGE_MATTYPEx

When displaying material types in an extended browse screen when the BRIEF or EXTENDED options include the O or P values, the Code used for material type OPAC option is set to '1' or '2', and the MEDIA Web option is set to a true value, the WebPAC can display each type as a GIF image by adding an IMAGE_MATTYPEx option for the particular material type. The 'x' in IMAGE_MATTYPEx specifies the code for the material type.

For example, if the library uses the code 'd' for Compact Discs, the GIF for this material type would be specified as shown below:

IMAGE_MATTYPEd=/screens/mycdpicture.gif

If an IMAGE_MATTYPEx option is not defined for a particular material type, the text description of that material displays as the type.

INDEX_EXT

This option forces browse screens for particular indexes to default to the extended (two-line) browse format rather than the brief browse format. The user can switch to brief browse format by selecting the Brief Display option. This option is typically used with call number indexes. Some examples are:

INDEX_EXT=c Browse display defaults to two-line mode if the user is searching in the index associated with tag 'c'
INDEX_EXT=c,g,o Browse display defaults to two-line mode if the user is searching in one of the indexes associated with tags 'c', 'g', or 'o'
NOTE

If the Course Reserve 'p' (professor) tag appears in this option's value, then the second line of the two-line browse for searches on this index will display the Course information. Similarly, if the 'r' tag (course) appears, then the second line of the two-line browse for searches on this index will display the Professor information.

See Extended Display (WebPAC) in the OPAC Display Formats section for more information on WebPAC browse screens.

ITEMS_MSG_BRIEF[_lang]

This option allows libraries to customize the Additional Copies message the system displays in a brief citation. The value is:

ITEMS_MSG_BRIEF=[text]

Where [text] is the alternate message indicating there are additional copies available in a brief citation display. When this option is defined, the system displays the text as a link to a list of the additional copies.

If this option is not defined, the system displays the following default text to indicate there are additional copies related to an entry in the brief citation display:

There are additional copies/volumes of this item

MEDIA

When this option is set to a "true" value (any word starting with 't', 'T', 'y', 'Y', or the number '1'), the WebPAC shows material type in the bibliographic record display and displays the material type column for all browse screens except the brief index and authority record browses.

If this option is set to a "false" value (any word starting with 'f', 'F', 'n', 'N', or the number '0') or is not defined, the WebPAC does not display the material type in the bibliographic record display and does not display the material type column in browse screens.

If the MEDIA option is set to a "true" value, the WebPAC uses the value of the Code used for material type to determine which fixed-length field code in the bibliographic record to use for the material type and the IMAGE_MATTYPEx option to determine the image to display next to the material type.

NO_COPIES[scope][_lang]

This option specifies the No Copies Available system message associated with holdings in a bibliographic record. The system displays this message in Brief Citations using the <--{holdingsmsg}--> token in the briefcit.html customizable Web form. The option format is:

NO_COPIES=[text]

Where [text] is the message for the system to display if there are no items available when associated with a bibliographic record. For example:

NO_COPIES=Currently no copies available

If this option is not defined, the system uses the following default:

NO_COPIES=No Copies Available

This option can vary by scope and language.

REDIRECT_7XX

Compatibility

This option is not applicable in Sierra.

SORT_BROWSE[scope][_lang]

Keyword Searching

This option does not work with keyword searches.

This option controls the sort options offered to users and the labels associated with those sort options. This option also defines the order in which the sorts are offered to users. The format is:

SORT_BROWSE=<code>:<label>|<code>:<label>|<code>:<label>|...

The <code> element is case-insensitive. Valid codes are:

Code Sort Type
c chronological
r reverse chronological
n call number
t title
a author
m material type

The <label> element is the text string associated with the code and that displays in the drop-down menu of sort options.

For example:

SORT_BROWSE=t:Title|a:Author|c:Year|r:Reverse Year

This option can vary by scope and language.

SORT_MEDIA[scope]

This option controls the preferred sorting order for material types. A material type (m) option must exist in the SORT_BROWSE option and material type must display in the browse for the SORT_MEDIA option to work. The format is:

SORT_MEDIA=[material type code]

The [material type codes] is the material type code fixed-length field in the bibliographic record. You can enter multiple codes in a string with no spaces or characters between the individual codes.

The material type codes are sorted in the order they are listed in this option. If this option is not defined and material types are included in the SORT_BROWSE option, then material types sort in alphabetical order by default.

For example:

SORT_MEDIA=amcdji
SORT_MEDIA1=acdjim
SORT_MEDIA2=macdji

This option can vary by scope.

SPELLCHECK[scope][_lang]

For organizations who have acquired the Spell Check product, this option defines the properties of the Spell Check Tool. This option accepts HTML in the value as well as the following special values:

Value Definition
%a The system generated "best guess" based on the installed dictionaries.
%s The value of the ICON_SPELLCHECK_MORE Web option.

For example:

SPELLCHECK=<span class="spellcheckTool">Did you mean %a? %s <span class="helptext">(change your search and click "Go")</span></span>

This option can vary by scope and language.

SUPPRESS_YEAR

This option is used to control the display of the Year column in browse displays. If this option is not defined or is set to a "FALSE" value ('0', the characters 'F', 'f', 'N', or 'n', or any word beginning with one of these characters), then the Year column displays.

To suppress the display of the Year column, set the value of this option to a "TRUE" value ('1', the characters 'T', 't', 'Y', or 'y', or any word beginning with one of these characters).

TABLEPARAM_BRIEFCIT[scope]

This option controls the display parameters of the brief citation table, which contains the list of brief citation entries (bibliographic record information that displays on an index browse). This format is:

TABLEPARAM_BRIEFCIT=[boolean]|[tableparams]

[boolean]
Sierra

This setting is not applicable in Sierra.

[tableparams] The attributes for the brief citation table.
This element is optional. If it is left blank, the system uses current default table display.

For example:

TABLEPARAM_BRIEFCIT=Y|BORDER=0

NOTE

Note that the opening < and closing > brackets are not provided for the <tableparams> element in the example above. The WebPAC assigns the element contents to a <TABLE> tag.

For example, if the element in <tableparams> is "BORDER=0", the WebPAC creates a <TABLE BORDER=0> tag.

This option can vary by scope.

TABLEPARAM_BROWSE

This option controls the display parameters of four tables in the browse display. The data entered in this option is inserted between the <table> and </table> tags. The values for this option must be valid <table> tag attributes. The option elements are:

TABLEPARAM_BROWSE=<screen>|<search>|<list>

<screen> Defines the parameters for the main browse table. This table includes the search "widgit", the Save/Jump controls, the table of external resources (if used), and the browse display itself.
<search> Defines the parameters for the table containing the search "widgit". Note that this table is contained within the main browse table.
<list> Defines the parameters for the table containing the list of items in the browse display. Note that this table is contained within the main browse table.

For example:

TABLEPARAM_BROWSE=BORDER=0|BORDER=0|BORDER=0 WIDTH=100%
