Problems with using parameters
I got an issue with starting an application made in the HTML composer.
What I have to make is that web1 has to start using an URL and than thru a drilldown starting web2 with given parameters.
The problem is that the first web1 doesn't receive parameter &NAM and the second web2 doesn't receive parameters &NAM and &COUNTRY.
What can I do to make this work?

Used URL: http://localhost:8080/approot/...web1.htm?&NAM=Person

Here by the source

You can't pass parameter values via a HTML page URL, without having to resort to complicated JavaScript. A much easier way is to call a fex that includes the HTML page. I created to fexes and made minor tweaks to the HTML and now parameters are passed.

web1.fex
-DEFAULT &NAM = 'Default Name 1';

Call web1.fex with a URL similar to
http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_ex=web1&NAM=JERRY

The parameter values are passed to the report piece of the HTML page via the !IBI.AMP.PARM1; syntax. Some may say this is not the best way to do it, but it's the quickest. The NAM variable defined in the HTML pages is not required, but I left them in.
