From parameters tab in html composer, you can easily bind variables.
You could refer to documentation from IBI also.

Thanks,
Ram

Thanks Prasad,

Am not using HTML composer, as my requirement is to do it from one fex file.

Thanks,

Steps to follow.

1. Using HTMLFORM command create form with listbox control in one.fex
2. Form action should call two.fex and method can be GET or POST
3. Keep your list box and create a submit button within the form in one.fex
4. In two.fex, you can refer to the listbox name to get the selected value.

Thanks,
Ram

hello,

try this :

-*test.fex
-DEFAULT &ACTION='PARAM'
-DEFAULT &CTRY='FOC_NONE'

-GOTO &ACTION

-PARAM

-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<HTML><BODY>
<form name=form1 action=/ibi_apps/WFServlet method="get()">
<!-- BELOW IS THE DYNAMIC DROPDOWN BOX -->
<SELECT NAME="CTRY" size=1>
<OPTION VALUE="FOC_NONE">ALL</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="ENGLAND">England</option>
<option value="ITALY">Italy</option>
</SELECT>
<input type=hidden name=IBIF_ex value=test>
<input type=hidden name=IBIAPP_app value=baseapp>
<input type=submit name=b1 value=Run>
<input type=hidden name=ACTION value=RUNQUERY>
</form></body></html>

-HTMLFORM END
-EXIT


-RUNQUERY


TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COUNTRY CAR MODEL BODYTYPE SEATS DEALER_COST RETAIL_COST SALES LENGTH WIDTH HEIGHT WEIGHT WHEELBASE FUEL_CAP BHP RPM MPG ACCEL 
WHERE COUNTRY EQ '&CTRY'
END


This single fex is 2 parts :

run it : it prompts for choice for country
Click on the RUN button, it will sumit the same fex but goes to the report part rather than the prompt part as the parameter ACTION is set to RUNQUERY in the HTMLFORM section

hopes it helps
