We have recently moved our platform from mainframe to win/2000 and in the process of upgrading from 4.3.6 to 5.2. I have an .asp page which is a chartdirector chart which calls my report (focexec) I pass several parameters from chart to report one of which is the webserver where the .asp was running. I need this webserver name to begin an URL which calls a web page and parses a few parameters. this works fine. However I have a drilldown report which in turns needs this webserver name to begin an URL...same ones actually... I have my code as:

This is the one I need it for and works on the first report.
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=N5,
URL=&URL/my/web/page.asp? \
(Code='V' Number=NO), $

This is where I am passing it to the drilldown report so I can pass it into the drill down like above code.
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=N1,
FOCEXEC=myfocexec \
(ID=ID FSRV='WIN' URL='&URL'),$

my problem arises in that focus is turning some of the URL components into hex code. for instance I want this to read http://myserver.fl.state.us
but what I get is http:%3A//myserver%2Estate%2Eus
and this bombs the calling of the drilldown.

any help would be much appreciated.

PS. I even hard coded the URL to read like this:
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=N1,
FOCEXEC=myfocexec \
(ID=ID FSRV='WIN' URL='http://myserver.fl.state.us'),$
It still passed this: http:%3A//myserver%2Estate%2Eus.

Thanks in Advance

It's not WebFOCUS that's changing the characters to their offsets, it's your browser. As long as its the browser then reading the URl, there should be no problem. When you look at the URL in the broswer do you see the correct URL?
