We are in the process of moving our self-service application from WebFocus 5.3.3 using “CGI” (ibiweb.exe) calls under window server 2003 SP1 to version 7.6.4 doing Servlet calls on the same platform.

We are having a problem when we produce a format EXL2K report. Under 5.3.3 (or 7.6.4 using “CGI”) we are able to do a Table to display a user-friendly HTML in the browser. Telling people you may close the window

HOWEVER when we use a Servlet call the EXL2K appears in the browser window with the “message” instead of in EXCEL.

Everything works fine if we don’t display the “message”. This leaves behind a blank borwse window. But we would like continue to be user-friendly so we don’t get complains about blank windows. Does anyone have an idea?

Here is code to show the issue:

TABLE FILE EMPLOYEE
HEADING
""PRINT
EMP_ID NOPRINT
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 1;
ON TABLE SET PAGE NOPAGE
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT,COLOR='BLUE',SIZE=10,GRID=OFF,$
ENDSTYLE
END

TABLE FILE EMPLOYEE
SUM
GROSS
DED_AMT
BY EMP_ID
BY PAY_DATE
BY DED_CODE
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
END

See if this helps..here
