Drilldown using Javascript - Issue with comma.

Hi,

I am using JAVASCRIPT to drilldown from one fex to another. In the drilldown a parameter has to be passed which has comma in it and that is a column in the table file and hence I cannot put it within quotations.

E.g.: The data is like 'Jan, 2007' in a column MONTH.


GRAPH FILE TABLENAME
SUM COL1 COL2
ACROSS MONTH
ON GRAPH SET STYLE *
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=COL1, JAVASCRIPT=func(MONTH), $
END

The above code will not work properly as the column MONTH is having a ',' in it. What is the solution to pass this value correctly?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Cyril Joy.

Cyril,

Could you pass the value of MONTH with a different format, say A6MYY? If yes, DEFINE another field AMONTH/A6MYY = MONTH and in the program have:
ACROSS MONTH ACROSS AMONTH NOPRINT
...
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=COL1,JAVASCRIPT=func(AMONTH)

But i think in a graph, if the value is defined as NOPRINT, it will not be allowed to drill down. Am I right?

I'm also not sure if you can give a second across in a graph.
What you can do is use only the second across (AMONTH) and use some extra settings in the graph to display the AMONTH value in a different way.
You need to add some java settings that as far as I know are not clickable via the gui.
Look in the manual to obtain functions like setLevelDateFormat()
setLevelBorderColor(getTimeScaleLevel(1), new Color (255,0,0));
setLevelBorderColor(getTimeScaleLevel(0), new Color(0,255,0));
setLevelBorderColor(getTimeScaleLevel(2), new Color(0,0,255));
setLevelTextColor(getTimeScaleLevel(1),new Color (255,0,0));
setLevelTextColor(getTimeScaleLevel(0),new Color(0,255,0));
setLevelTextColor(getTimeScaleLevel(2),new Color(0,0,255));

When you hold the mouse over the drill down area, are you getting something like:

javascript:func(Jan,2007);

appearing in the status bar?

If so, then the js will be receiving this as 2 parameters not one, so you should use:

function func(a,b)

where variable a will be 'Jan' and variable b would be '2007', so you could then concatenate a and b. Then there is no need to escape as the comma is part of the variable.

The escape character in js is the \, but should not be needed.

To escape a value in JavaScript:

lutCode = escape(CODE);


Here is some interesting help on the escape function:

The values for example say
Jan, 2007
Feb, 2007
Mar, 2007 etc are coming from database or is in a column named MONTH.

I am using this column in a JAVASCRIPT drillldown from fex.

GRAPH FILE TABLENAME
SUM COL1 COL2
ACROSS MONTH
ON GRAPH SET STYLE *
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=COL1, JAVASCRIPT=func(MONTH), $
END

When the code is executed, it is simply giving a javascript error when clicked on COL1.

Where is your javascript loaded into the output page?

What is the javascript error you get?

What does the Status bar show when holding your mouse over the drill down column?

Basically, on a Graph you have to use the
java api calls to invoke javascript correctly, which can be a bit messy. Can you not achieve your objective callling a focexec directly or URL.
