I'm testing reports in MRE and I have a launch HTML page with Variables and when you fill in the Variables and hit submit, it goes to the Default 7.1 AutoPrompt Page and stops. Anyone know how to turn this off.

Also right click the report and ensure Prompt for Values is not checked

If we do Kevin's suggestion it does not promt at all even if the report is checked Prompt for Values.

We are also having the problem if you try to edit in Resource Layout a program what was created in 5.3.5 it puts up a box telling you it is going to convert it to the new 7.1.4 version...and it will either stick the fex in the HTML or delete it all together. Anyone run across this issue? This is also in MRE this is happening.

Hi Prarie,

Yes, I saw that "feature" when we were first testing. It is the new method of creating the HTML pages from the RL tool. I believe that it uses XML to read the fex but further than that I haven't given it a lot of time. With it being an "all new tool" I would suggest that you plague IB with any problems you have using it, especially when upgrading because, from hearing your experiences, I'm not sure that editing existing code has been tested enough.

Personally, I don't like it and therefore stick to coding by hand. This is not a problem for me but could be a problem if someone is not too happy with writing HTML etc.

Good luck

T

We have quite a few open cases with IBI with this release. I'm OK hand coding..but we have people fairly new to Focus in general...and GUI is their friend. I don't like it changing what is already there...and think you should at least have the option of saying yes or no.

Agreed, but (as far as I can see) the method that is now employed to harness RL is sooo different that it requires that older versions are brought into line, so I am not confident that a yes or no option would even be possible.

I concur with the fact that the GUI is the new developers friend, and would also suggest that when a change in a release is this big any recent training that may have been received can be rendered next to useless. It wouldn't be so bad if the help files in Dev Studio were not so "Maintain" biased.

Over time there might be more acceptance of the new tools, as is the general movement with new releases of what ever software. For now though give me notepad!

Did you ever find a solution to your prompting issue in 7.1x?

This worked from IBI

You should be able to customize to allow the default of "Run in New Window"
checkbox to be checked via the following:

Location of the file:
ibi\WebFOCUS71\ibi_html\javaassist\ibi\html\describe\autoprompt.xsl

Original Version:

function onLoadDescribeForm( )
{
document.WFDescribeForm.AmperStaticMulti.disabled=true;
document.WFDescribeForm.AmperDynamicMulti.disabled=true;
document.WFDescribeForm.AmperAcceptMulti.disabled=true;
with( document.WFDescribeForm )
{
var formLen = elements.length;
for( var i = 0; i <
formLen; ++i )
if( elements[i].type != 'hidden' disable-output-escaping="yes">&& elements[i].disabled ==
false )
{
elements[i].focus();
break;
}
}
}

You just need to add the following line to the beginning of the function:

document.WFDescribeForm.reportTarget.checked=true;

Therefore, the function should look something like:

function onLoadDescribeForm( )
{
document.WFDescribeForm.reportTarget.checked=true;
document.WFDescribeForm.AmperStaticMulti.disabled=true;
document.WFDescribeForm.AmperDynamicMulti.disabled=true;
document.WFDescribeForm.AmperAcceptMulti.disabled=true;
with( document.WFDescribeForm )
{
var formLen = elements.length;
for( var i = 0; i <
formLen; ++i )
if( elements[i].type != 'hidden' disable-output-escaping="yes">&& elements[i].disabled ==
false )
{
elements[i].focus();
break;
}
}
}

Just location the function onLoadDescribeForm() in the file indicated
and add the single of line of code at the beginning of it prior to any
other code. Do not adjust any other code. Also, make a backup of this file
prior to any changes as a precaution.

We are testing 7.6.1 and I'm told this no longer works to get rid of the annoying run in new window. Anybody know how you fix it now?
Do we maybe have a yes or no setting?

Just got back from Summit and my co-worker tried to get this solved in the Expert room and did not. Anyone know how we can get the Run in New Window box to be automatically checked in 7.6?
