[CLOSED] Multiple AHTMLs in one HTMLFORM

May 20, 2019, 02:24 PM

Can I get Multiple AHTMLs in one HTMLFORM? The following only shows one report. I do get both reports when using FORMAT HTML instead of FORMAT.

TABLE FILE CAR
"REPORT 1"
SUM DCOST RCOST BY CAR BY MODEL
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON GRAPH HOLD AS REPORT1 FORMAT AHTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
INCLUDE = IBFS:/EDA/EDASERVE/_EDAHOME/ETC/endeflt.sty,$
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN
TABLE FILE CAR
"REPORT 2"
SUM DCOST RCOST BY CAR BY MODEL
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON GRAPH HOLD AS REPORT2 FORMAT AHTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
INCLUDE = IBFS:/EDA/EDASERVE/_EDAHOME/ETC/endeflt.sty,$
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<TABLE BORDER=1><TR>
<TD>!IBI.FIL.REPORT1;</TD>
<TD>!IBI.FIL.REPORT2;</TD>
-HRMLFORM END

It may get more complex with drilldowns in some reports, and I have four reports, not just two.

IMO I would not use "AHTML" at all. I would use DataTables.js instead. AHTML formatting just doesn't cut it.

That's pretty Cool Guy (no pun intended... or was there...)... But, I'm this team is new to WebFOCUS. So, I'm not sure (yet) about adding another level of 'other stuff' yet. Besides, AHTML has been an accepted/approved report format...

But, I'll keep this in mind. Thanks...

PS: Do you have an example of Muliple WebFOCUS TABLE FILE requests --> to a Muliple DataTables?

Sticks and stones, man. Sticks and stones. S'all good. If only you knew just how Cool I really was...

Best of luck with your current comrades and that which is AHTML.

Are you going to Summit?

I am sorry to report that you will most likely never behold my Cool-ness in person. I don't see myself ever attending another IBI Summit again. Sorry man.

Doug, search for Active dashboard, this might be what you're looking for. You can add multiple AHTML (also with different type of charts) and add Filters to it.

It's all kind of limited in styling and amount of data, but as long as that OK it's a pretty good solution.

Thanks Frans, I'm checking out the Active Dashboards.

Try this example from the 'Developing Reporting Applications' manual...

TABLE FILE GGSALES
SUM
DOLLARS
UNITS
BY REGION
BY ST
BY CITY
HEADING
"Regional Sales Summary"
ON TABLE HOLD AS REPORT1 FORMAT AHTMLTAB
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
 INCLUDE=ENDEFLT.STY,$
ENDSTYLE
END
-*
TABLE FILE GGSALES
SUM
DOLLARS
UNITS
BY CATEGORY
BY PRODUCT
HEADING
"Production Order Summary"
ON TABLE HOLD AS REPORT2 FORMAT AHTMLTAB
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
 INCLUDE=ENDEFLT.STY,$
ENDSTYLE
END
-*
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Displaying HTML Active Technologies Reports on an HTML Web
Page</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
!IBI.OBJ.ACTIVEREPORTJS;
<TABLE BORDER='1'>
<TR>
<TD valign=top>
!IBI.FIL.REPORT1;
</TD>
<TD valign=top>
!IBI.FIL.REPORT2;
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>
-HTMLFORM END

I was so excited David that I was ready to give you a Gold Star for this. But, Sorry, You'll need to wait for the Gold Star...

It ran and View Source shows that it held the records and showed the Loading Page. But. the Loading Page page never stopped and the reports never displayed.

The following is the result of a direct copy&paste of the above code:

0 NUMBER OF RECORDS IN TABLE=     4317  LINES=     12
0 HTML FILE SAVED ...
0 NUMBER OF RECORDS IN TABLE=     4317  LINES=     10
0 HTML FILE SAVED ...

I'm hoping that this works with just a tweak of some sort...

I'm thinking it has to do with "ACTIVEREPORTJS", either a version or just can't find it. Where should that reside?

That seems to be part of it... Here's the final scoop:
It does not work from App Stuio, defaulted to display in IE...
It does work from ibi_apps in both IE and Chrome...

Now to productionize it IRL with a Real scenario...

Thanks again David Briars
