Hi all. New to WF (using Dev Studio 7.1.1)...

I'm integrating a Web Focus report with some internal application, which will pass a variable and launch the web focus report. My question is, has anyone used web focus in any way to receive that variable and pass it to the report (&___)?

I know of passing the variable in a URL (http://...fex&variablename=blablabla), but is there a way to accept it using something else? (i.e., Javascript, Perl, etc)?

Any help would be a huge lift! Thanks in advance!!

      'document.mychoices.RNID.options(1).selected = true;' ELSE
        IF (RNID EQ 'ford') THEN
      'document.mychoices.RNID.options(2).selected = true;' ELSE
        IF (RNID EQ 'nissan') THEN
      'document.mychoices.RNID.options(11).selected = true;' ELSE ' ';       
END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT PICK 
ON TABLE HOLD AS XCAR FORMAT ALPHA
