Is it possible to call to an external entity using a WebFOCUS drill-down in a stylesheet? Thinking there is another directive besides FOCEXEC that I am missing?

Shouldn't you do the drilldown to a URL and not a Focexec ?

Yes, that was my question. What is that keyword?

Stylesheet options would have given you the URL tag.

Actually, I did the next best thing. I did a quick look through a program doing something similar but with the FOCEXEC keyword.
I searched Google for 'WebFOCUS FOCEXEC drill-down external URL', etc

My results took me here (which introduced the FOCEXECURL topic), here (which got close, if I had seen/paid attention to the next link in the chapter (on the left), here (which describes how to link graphs to external URLs via the GUI tool), here (which describes limitations for drill-downs via ReportCaster), as well as several topics on the forum that regurgitate issues regarding the topics listed above.

At no point in my searching using the keyword I did know and the approach I was trying to achieve, did I run across an article that uncovered the URL keyword in the results.

Respectfully, I counter your RTFM assertion with "I did" and that given the insight into the methods I used and my results, think you'll agree that this is akin to looking up unfamiliar words in the dictionary to verify spelling. WTFDB

FYI

There is a link to the documentation at the top of this page.

Here is a link to a search facility.

Search for "drilldown url"/Technical Documentation

You will see the top result is documentation on drilldowns
