Hi,

I am new to WebFocus. I am having JSCHART and PDF as output types as a radio button in HTML composer. Here I am using 6 graphs in the HTML composer. The graph will be displayed based on the prompt option with the help of Javascript. If I run the HTML file with PDF as the output type, it is generating PDF for all the 6 graphs, this should not happen. The pdf should generate only for the current prompt values. Kindly help me in this. I am using WebFocus 8.0.0.7

Thanks,
Ramcharan.

Use dialog manager commands like -IF, -GOTO to skip any component based on the prompt selection.

Hi Atturhari,

I am using separate 6 graphs and making them in HTML composer. And the prompt is applied in HTML composer only. so I cant use -IF, -GOTO options there.

You could still add your custom code by opening the file with editor.

Hi Ramcharan,

Welcome to Focal Point.

I am guessing that you've not received any WebFOCUS training? If this is correct then I would urge you to press for training on Dev Studio (as a bare minimum!) as what you are asking points to a basic misunderstanding of what you are doing.

Basic training should help overcome this shortfall in base knowledge.

Ramcharan,

Tony is correct, you probably want to take some basic dev studio classes to get a better understanding of how the tool works. With that being said, the tool does not inherently know that you want one PDF file for each graph. It just sends the PDF format type to each graph and each one is run seperately. From what you say, it sounds like you embeded the graphs into the HTML. If it were me, I would create a fex for each graph and then reference the procedure instead of embedding it. I would then also create one Compound report for the PDF output. I would then reference that report to a new window when the user selects the PDF option.

There are other ways you could do this where you would only need one fex instead of 7. In that case you would use the -IF and -GOTO commands that atturhari is talking about.
