We value the wealth of knowledge and engagement shared by community members and hope the new community will continue cultivating networking, knowledge sharing, and discussion.

During the transition period, from April 20th until the new community is launched this summer, myibi users should access the TIBCO WebFOCUS page to engage.

[SOLVED] Getting the Description Value from Listbox

Hi

I have a Listbox having vehicle names and is bound to a Variable namely &vehicle.

'Vehicle_ID' is being passed to the &Vehicle but the Display Value is Coming from 'Vehicle_desc'.

In WF7 Switching ON 'Send Display value' gave us a Variable &vehicle_text which had the Display Value of option selected in the listbox but still passes the Vehcile_ID value to the &Vehicle.

IN WF8, switching on 'Send display value' is sending 'Vehicle_desc' to the &vehicle hence the SQL Pass through is not getting the correct filter.

The Idea is to Use Vehicle_ID(&Vehicle) in the SQL Pass through and but also fetch the Display value to show in report footer.

Need Help!!

Example:

Vehicle_id - 5 has vehicle_desc - BC403 MAX

I need to use 5 in the SQL but display BC403 MAX in the report footer.

Use Hold file and -READFILE Concept to read value in a variable and use it in footer.


Thanks!

How would this give the Description of the Value Selected in the Listbox?

There was a lengthy discussion on this forum about "Send Display value" a few months ago... the following might be useful for you:

I am using below Javascript Function which i wrote as workaround, use it with the ValueChanged Event of the Listbox and then bind the value to a Variable, use the Variable in the report filter section, we can mark this thread as closed.

function listbox_subengine()
{
var list_v = document.getElementById('listsubeng')
var list_vLength = list_v.options.length;
var strfinal1 = "";
for (var j = 0; j < list_vLength; j++)
{
if (list_v.options[j].selected)
{
var str2 = list_v.options[j].text;
strfinal1 = strfinal1 + str2+",";
}
}
strfinal1 = strfinal1.substr(0,strfinal1.length-1);
document.getElementById('edit5').value = strfinal1;
return strfinal1;
}
