Hi,

When using -INCLUDE APPDIR/FEXFILENAME Everything works fine in my report
But when i define a variable like
-SET &VARNAME = IF condition THEN 'fexfilename'
ELSE 'ANOTHERFEXFILENAME' END
-INCLUDE &VARNAME
i am not able to schedule my report with report caster getting a message:
WEBFOCUS REPIORTING SERVER PROCEDURE CANNOT BE FOUND.

The above should read something like:
-SET &VARNAME = IF condition THEN 'fexfilename' ELSE 'ANOTHERFEXFILENAME';
-INCLUDE APPDIR/&VARNAME.EVAL

Maybe by doing it like this it will work.

instead of the above try this:

-SET &VARNAME = IF condition THEN 'fexfilename' 
-ELSE 'ANOTHERFEXFILENAME' END
-INCLUDE &VARNAME


if you are using DM you need to start every line with a - symbol (i learned this literally minutes ago.)

Try this.

 
-* S = SUMMARY (CAR2)
-* D = DETAIL  (CAR1)
-SET &PULL     = S;
-* YOUR FIRST FEX
-SET &CAR1     = '/eda53/ibi/apps/dashboard/car1.fex';
-* YOUR SECOND FEX
-SET &CAR2     = '/eda53/ibi/apps/dashboard/car2.fex';
-SET &RUNFEX   = DECODE &PULL(S '&CAR2.EVAL' D '&CAR1.EVAL');
-SET &&INCLUDE = '-INCLUDE';
-TYPE &CAR1

&&INCLUDE.EVAL &RUNFEX.EVAL


Substitute the path of your fexes for &CAR1 and &CAR2.

A Dialogue Manager statement ends with a semi-colon, not END.

You need MRNOEDIT:

  
-SET &CNTR = 2;
-SET &VARNAME = IF &CNTR EQ 1 THEN 'foldername/focexec.fex' 
-                             ELSE 'foldername/focexec.fex';

Does the following code really work?


[CODE]
-SET &VARNAME = IF &CNTR EQ 1 THEN 'foldername/focexec.fex'
- ELSE 'foldername/focexec.fex';
[CODE]

Is the "-" used to continue the previous line?

Yes, it is to continue the previous line, AND, it really works...

I can't seem to make it work. Is there some secret to this?

This code
-SET &INP1 = 1;
-SET &DIR  = IF &INPUT EQ 1 THEN '/rimsi/site1/prod2' ELSE
-            IF &INPUT EQ 2 '/anicoi/site1/prod4' ELSE
-            IF &INPUT EQ 3 '/rimsi/site1/train2' ELSE

When you've recovered sufficiently, add a final ELSE to the DECODE, perhaps

ELSE '/(no path)/');

I know, it can *never* happen ... but at least when it does you will have some gingerbread crumbs to follow.

Just for you I'll add it. However, the user must click a radio button and I hard code their options.

You and my partner think alike. He likes the default also.

Any time you have user input, it is bound to happen.

That is the reason we went to Radio button input with a default set.

I don't even let the users input the date (they must pick from the calendar)!

But as you say, it is best to have coding standards in place that will prevent the unspeakable from happening.

Thanks,
