The user has agreed to separate reports for each country as each country is coded in different ways, so this will no longer be needed.



I have an HTML page that initially displays a list box to select the country you want to run the report for (COUNTRY1 or COUNTRY2). But when I select a country and hit RUN, the report then displays the prompts for both countries. Is there any way I can 'hide' the prompt for COUNTRY2 if I select COUNTRY1 and vice versa?

Here is the code:

-PROMPT &MKT.(COUNTRY1, COUNTRY2).Select country.;

-IF &MKT EQ 'COUNTRY1' THEN GOTO RUN_COUNTRY1 ELSE IF &MKT EQ 'COUNTRY2' THEN GOTO RUN_COUNTRY2
END
-RUN

-RUN_COUNTRY1
-SET &COUNTRY1PROMPT = &COUNTRY1PROMPT
TABLE FILE XXXXX
SUM
XXXXXX
WHERE XXX.COUNTRY = EQ &CONTRY1PROMPT;
ON TABLE SET PAGE NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLDTBL4 FORMAT FOCUS
END
-RUN

-GOTO END_RUN

-RUN_COUNTRY2
-SET &COUNTRY2PROMPT = &COUNTRY2PROMPT
TABLE FILE XXXXX
SUM
XXXXXX
WHERE XXX.COUNTRY = EQ &CONTRY2PROMPT;
ON TABLE SET PAGE NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLDTBL4 FORMAT FOCUS
END
-RUN

-END_RUN
-EXIT

Both reports seem to be the same, is that just because of the expample or is that the real issue.

If so you just can do this

-PROMPT &MKT.(COUNTRY1, COUNTRY2).Select country.;

TABLE FILE XXXXX
SUM
XXXXXX
WHERE COUNTRY EQ '&MKT';
ON TABLE SET PAGE NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLDTBL4 FORMAT FOCUS
END


This should do it

BTW, some strange other codes in your example

....WHERE XXX.COUNTRY = EQ &CONTRY2PROMPT;

the &contry2prompt is nowhere defined
the '= EQ' is not a supported way to do this

The EQ shouldn't be there in the second Where.
The reports are similar but the issue is that if I select COUNTRY1 in the &MKT prompt, I just want prompt &COUNTRY1PROMPT to appear, not both &COUNTRY1PROMPT and &COUNTRY2PROMPT and vice versa.

Then I just do not understand the issue

you have created an autoprompt by the command

-SET &COUNTRY1PROMPT = &COUNTRY1PROMPT

-SET &COUNTRY2PROMPT = &COUNTRY2PROMPT

But I just do not understand why you use these different prompt variables and names..

Can they not be the same?

Does it not work as I suggested and if not ...why not...

The example I gave may be to dimplified.

Each country runs differently with different prompts.

COUNTRY1 needs PromptA, PromptB and PromptC.

COUNTRY2 needs PromptD and PromptE.

The prompts between the countries are different and are not related.

What I want is to only display PromptA, PromptB and PromptC if the initial selection is COUNTRY1, and only display PromptD and PromptE when COUNTRY2 is selected.

The report code will be different and unique for each country.

Sorry, that should have been "simplified".
