As of December 1, 2020, Focal Point is retired and repurposed as a reference repository. We value the wealth of knowledge that's been shared here over the years. You'll continue to have access to this treasure trove of knowledge, for search purposes only.
New TIBCO Community Coming Soon
In early summer, TIBCO plans to launch a new community—with a new user experience, enhanced search, and expanded capabilities for member engagement with answers and discussions! In advance of that, the current myibi community will be retired on April 30. We will continue to provide updates here on both the retirement of myibi and the new community launch.
What You Need to Know about Our New Community
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.
I actually use the field as an input to an HTML page so it tries displaying in a text field !IBI.AMP.CUST_NAME; The HTML page just spins and doesn't load .... every.
I've done some more tracing and it does look like all the dialogue manager code is executing just fine, it's when it hits that HTML page.

You could replace any customer names that have a & symbol to &| so 'N&R CONCRETE' becomes 'N&|R CONCRETE' and then it will not error because it can't resolve &R. Ian

lenny, once you have read the custname into the variable &CUSTNAME, then whenever you reference that variable later, be SURE to use &CUST_NAME.QUOTEDSTRING and that should avoid the & problem. eg: DEFINE FILE CAR somename/A30 WITH CAR = &CUST_NAME.QUOTEDSTRING ; ... or IF SOMEFIELD EQ &CUST_NAME.QUOTEDSTRING
If you're having issues still, with your html page, then do it the hard way and sledge hammer some quotes around it -SET &CUST_NAME='''| &CUST_NAME || '''; (you may have to tinker with that, i can't log on to test it right now)
