[SOLVED] Simple Drill Down to Web Page - URL is being corrupted

I'm attempting to modify a column in a report. The column contains ticket #s. I'm attempting to build a hyperlink in each row that will go to a specific URL and include a parameter (the ticket #) to get to the specific page on the website.

So I go into Hyperlink and enter the URL:

http://website.com/

I leave 'Alternate comment' blank. Target is 'New Window'. I then build a parameter, calling it PKEY, using the ticket # field for the parameter value.

I run the report, and click on the hyperlink. Unfortunately, the hyperlink has extra characters that cause the link to fail.

I expect the following url:

http://website.com/ticket#

However, I'm somehow getting extra characters:

http://website.com/ ?PKEY= ticket#

I can't figure out where the ?PKEY= is coming from.

Now, I know I can go into WebFocus and modify the code to remove the ?PKEY= and it works. But I feel like I should be able to get this to work in InfoAssist.

Anyone have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hello,

?PKEY= is the syntaxe added by the declaration of your PKEY parameter name.

A way to do it using InfoAssist could be a DEFINE field with the syntaxe of hyperlink as example :

 
LINK/A300 = '<a target=_new href=http://website.com/' || TICKET Nb || '>' ||
TICKET nb || '</a>' ;
