[SOLVED] Reading parameters in URL from FEX

Hi,
We are calling our Fex from the Sef service Application URL by passing all IBI_MRdomain, Fex etc. The self service app is also passing another parameter like &P_REPORT_ID in the url.
Is there any way to read that value into the FEX?? Below is the example Url:
http://www.abc.com/ibi_apps/WF...D=5073&TARGET=_blank

Thanks,
DD

Unless I misunderstand, the receiving fex just uses the variable as written.

Below is something similar I did (again, I may misunderstand the question).

My URL link:
http://server:8080/ibi_apps/WF...xxxx.com/my_app_dir/

ISLogit.fex:
-* CLICKWRAPPER
-* Used for external URLs that do not have the built in logging via the Report Library Code.
-***********************************************************************
-SET &PGMNAME = &REPORTID;
-SET &RPTNAME = &REPORTID;
-***********************************************
-SET &USERID = UPCASE(25,&RUNUSERID,&RUNUSERID);
-SET &GROUPID = &GROUPID;
-SET &REPORTID = &PGMNAME;
-SET &UNIQUEID = '';
-***********************************************
-MRNOEDIT -INCLUDE RUNEVENT
-***********************************************

SET EMPTYREPORT = ON
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<html>
  <head>
    <title>You got logged!</title>
    <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=&URLDEST" />
  </head>
  <body>
    !IBI.FIL.REPORT;
  </body>
</html>
-HTMLFORM END


In my case, &URLDEST is "just used" in the receiving fex. You could code some &DEFAULTs to make it a little more bullet proof, but it is what it is.
