-* File projectProcessBar2.fex 
-SET &v = '';                           //the variable in fex
-RUN
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script>
	function getCompanyCode()
	{
		var ck = parent.document.getElementsByName('combobox5');
		var values = '';                  //the js variable get from html
		for(i = 1; i < ck.length ; i++){
			if(ck[i].checked){
				values += ck[i].value;

You can assign the value of the JS var to an object in the html screen, which is sent to WF and will become and will become an amper variable with the same name as the html object. If you wan't to check it, you can query the list of amper values with the -? & statement in WF.

Thanks for your reply , but my purpose is not assign the amper variable from js variable in the 'html' .
My purpose is assign the amper variable from js variable in the 'fex file' .

As Håkan was saying, the only link between a js variable, which is known only to the browser, and WebFOCUS that runs on the server, is the URL or
call to WebFOCUS.

Pass the js variable as a parameter when calling WebFOCUS and then WebFOCUS will pick it up as the named parameter.

In your js you assign the input object jsvar (or whatever you want to call it) the value of the js variable. When you submit the screen to webfocus, you will get an amper variable called &country.

<INPUT id=country type=hidden name="country">

GRAPH FILE CAR
SUM CAR.BODY.DEALER_COST CAR.BODY.RETAIL_COST
ACROSS CAR.COMP.CAR
WHERE COUNTRY EQ '&country.EVAL';
END
