I am passing multiple values from a drop down list on a html. The focus program that is being called from the html page is working fine. I have a heading set up as a drill down where I need to pass the values that were selected off the html page. This is my drill down code.
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=3, OBJECT=TEXT, ITEM=1,
FOCEXEC=CLPBRNSM (BEG_DT=&BEG_DT END_DATE=&END_DATE END_DT=&END_DT BTYP='&BTYP' \
BRN='&BRN' \
-IF &BRN0.EXISTS THEN GOTO START2 ELSE GOTO LOOP2;
-START2
BRN0=&BRN0 \
-REPEAT LOOP2 FOR &BRNCNT FROM 2 TO &BRN0;
BRN.&BRNCNT='&BRN.&BRNCNT' \
-LOOP2
-NEXT2
), $

this seems to work fine with the cgi-bin call but not with the WFServlet call. Does anyone know why ? I need to use the WFServlet call. The error I'm getting is
(FOC318) A FIELD FORMAT IS NOT ALLOWED IN -SET: &BRN.5='924';

I don't think the problem is in the drill down program because regardless of what program I call in the drill down it's not working. We are using WebFocus 5.23

&BRN may or may not be numeric, but &BRN0 will always be numeric.
Just remove the . in BRN.&BRNCNT. Should be just BRN&BRNCNT
