Yep, notice how Gary finally added decent descriptions of what all the QP2 scan functions do (including the UNITS associated with each) and actually gives a small concise example of how to use each one in a scan for example:

EPS1growth
returns the 1 year growth rate of earnings per share, as a percentage

EPS3growth
returns the 3 year growth rate earnings per share as a percentage

EPS5growth
returns the 5 year growth rate earnings per share as a percentage

Example:

This scan selects all stocks for which the one-year growth rate is 5 percent or greater.

Output = "myfile";
If EPS1growth > = 5 then
println symbol;
endif;

Gap()

Gap( DayNum )

Returns the difference between the opening price for the day selected by DayNum and the closing price of the day before (DayNum - 1).
DayNum must be <= 0.
Example:
Gap( 0 ) returns the opening gap for the most current date.
Gap(0) >= 1 selects all issues that gapped up at least 1 dollar on the open.
Gap(0) <= 1 selects all issues that gapped down at least 1 dollar on the open.
