I've spent soooome time looking at all the posts about adding the 'Run Deferred' option
to a launch page.

The question I have, is there a manual I should be referring to build a simple launch page to launch RD reports?

Or, has anyone built a little report with the CAR file and a launch page to run reports from?

I am using WF Dev Stud 7.13 on Windoze IIS.

Thanks,
Tom Big Grin

Tom -
If you use some kind of a javascript function to submit your form, then add this line to the submit js-function section before the submit -

document.formname.IBIMR_defer.value = defr ;


If you use the submit button to directly call the WFServlet, then add this hidden variable line to your Form - 
 
<input type='hidden' name='IBIMR_defer'      value='defr'>


You will ofcourse have to have all your other Hidden vars like IBIMR_domain, IBIMR_folder, etc to go with the above IBIMR_defer variable.

Hope that helps,
Sandeep Mamidenna

]

Note: I want to run from my Dev. Studio., not from MRE at this point.

Here is the CAR file code
[
-SET &ECHO = ALL;
-*
-*SET &COUNTRY = 'JAPAN';
-*
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT MODEL
BY COUNTRY
WHERE COUNTRY EQ '&COUNTRY';
END
-RUN
]

Thanks Razzer

Tom -
We just started using DevStuido, so I am having a hard time weeding out all those extra parms that the GUI plugs in for all tags.

Like Jack was saying, I am not so sure if you can submit a "Form" without a "FORM" tag.

In the little experimentation we did with the HTML-Painter tool, we could not get it to work right. I have a feeling you have to work things in a specific sequence while building HTML pages using the GUI.

Will get back if I see the problem.

To clarify, our issues with the HTML tool are training related (or lack there of). I am sure we will get there some day !!

Y'all have a gooooooood weekend !!

I've been told that it is easy if you create a launch page with a button using javascript onclick defer...

I have not gotten that method to work either.

It's possible, we've got it running in a javascript launch page. Besides idMRdefer = defer you also need to fill idMRfex ("app/" + rprtFex + ".fex")

Tom,

Just a minor point but fundemental. Your hidden tag should have a value of "defer" and not "!defr"
quote:
<INPUT type='hidden' name='IBIMR_defer' value='defr'>

Also, not sure whether your search picked this one up, but you might like to look at this link in which Kerry advises that Deferred is a function only of MRE. However, she also mentions that several NFRs had been submitted to allow deferred outside of MRE. It might be worth while contqacting Kerry or Tech Support to see if anything has moved?
