I am using the following code

SET PAGE-NUM=OFF
DEFINE FILE CAR
IMAGE/A300= "'';
END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COUNTRY
IMAGE
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
END

URL IMAGE link in define field will be like this:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wi...on_builders_logo.gif

When i use output format as "HTML" i am able to see the images in html output. But if i change the output format to PDF, URL values are displayed in pdf outputs instead of images.

Note: Image url value are a separate define field. So i need to print it as like a column.


Please help me how to get the image in PDF output.

Thanks in advance

Read the documentation:

Creating Reports With WebFOCUS Language > Laying Out the Report Page > Adding an Image to a Report > Add an Image to a PDF, PS, or HTML Report With Internal Cascading Style Sheet

Francis,

As of my understanding,In the link you provided has the 2 methods:
1) how to embed image from URL into HEADING/FOOTING of report.
TYPE={REPORT|heading}, IMAGE={url|file|(column)} [,BY=byfield]
[,POSITION=([+|-]x [+|-]y )] [,SIZE=(w h)] [,PRESERVERATIO={ON|OFF}],$

2) how to embed BLOB image field into report.
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=imagefield, IMAGE=(imagefield), SIZE=(w h),
[PRESERVERATIO={ON|OFF},] $

My scenario is: I get URL value from one real field.
I need to display the images using the URL values in PDF.

Original Table data
-------------------
Sno Image-URL
--------------
1 urlvalue1
2 urlvalue2
3 urlvalue3


In PDF output it should be like
-------------------------------
Sno Images
--------------
1 Image1
2 Image2
3 Image3

Image1,2 and 3 are images in pdf.

If there is any other option, can you please suggest me .....

Images in PDF must be available as a file to the WebFOCUS server.

Here's a possible solution, found by doing a Search in FocalPoint:

Image in row of a PDF report

Are the images local or accessible to WebFOCUS ?

i.e. Not a url.

I had the same problem with a self-service app. In my environment, I determined that images for HTML output must reside on the Web Server and images for PDF output must reside on the Reporting Server.


WF Client 7.6.10 on Solaris
WF Reporting Server 7.6.10 on AIX

Here is something that I have been playing with for a while.

If the images are on a webserver not accessible directly, and not behind a proxy server, this may help.

-SET &Conf = FGETENV(7,'EDACONF',80,'A80') ;
-SET &Conf = TRUNCATE(&Conf) ;
-SET &TmpDir = TEMPPATH(80,'A80') ;
-SET &TmpDir = TRUNCATE(&TmpDir) ;

FILEDEF CALL DISK call.ftm

-RUN

-SET &Img_Name = '{image name}' ;

-WRITE CALL BEGIN
-WRITE CALL  HOST = {webserver}
-WRITE CALL  PORT = {port number}
-WRITE CALL  REQUEST_METHOD = GET
-WRITE CALL  URI = {web alias}&Img_Name
-WRITE CALL  EXCLUDE=ON
-WRITE CALL END
-WRITE CALL BEGIN
-WRITE CALL CONTENT=data
-WRITE CALL END

-RUN
! type call.ftm
! attrib +r call.ftm
! dir
! &Conf.EVAL\bin\interp.bat -httptst &TmpDir..call.ftm
-RUN
! attrib -r call.ftm

! rename call.hto &Img_Name

! dir
-RUN

DEFINE FILE CAR
 LOGO/A20 = '&Img_Name' ;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
HEADING
" "
PRINT COUNTRY
      LOGO 
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
-*TYPE=REPORT, IMAGE=&Img_Name, $
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=N2, IMAGE=(LOGO),$
ENDSTYLE
END

Its convoluted, but will pull an image from a web location and write it in the temp directory.

This is definitely not what interp was intended to be used for !
