from this list (the parameters) Column titles of a table
I want to display only the columns selected as a multiple select

(in my HTML as a list)










Tried this works for only 1 option value at a time i.e. 1 Column only as output (no good)

&Opt_SQL = '&Opt_SQL'
-SET &TEXT2 = STRREP(&Opt_SQL.LENGTH,&Opt_SQL,4,' or ',1,',',&Opt_SQL.LENGTH,'&Opt_SQL');
-SET &TEXT3 = STRIP(&TEXT2.LENGTH,&TEXT2,'''','&TEXT2');
SQL SQLMSS PREPARE SQLOUT FOR
SELECT
&TEXT3
FROM dbo.ServiceApplication
;
END
TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT
*
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
END

the error is

(FOC1517) UNRECOGNIZED COMMAND ''BUSINESSSPONSOR'' OR ''CERTSTATUS'' =
'''BUSINESSSPONSOR'' OR ''CERTSTATUS'''
(FOC1400) SQLCODE IS 156 (HEX: 0000009C) XOPEN: 42000
: Microsoft SQL Native Client: [42000] Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'OR'. [42000] Statement(s) could not be prepared. [] Deferred prepare could not be completed.
L (FOC1405) SQL PREPARE ERROR.
(FOC205) THE DESCRIPTION CANNOT BE FOUND FOR FILE NAMED: SQLOUT
BYPASSING TO END OF COMMAND

However the removal of the ' or ' was I believe successful

Upper Case ' OR ' and it works now in the line
-SET &TEXT2 = STRREP(&Opt_SQL.LENGTH,&Opt_SQL,4,' or ',1,',',&Opt_SQL.LENGTH,'&Opt_SQL');

Add -SET &ECHO=ALL; before the -SET &TEXT2

And add -TYPE &TEXT3 after -SET &TEXT3.

Thank you, I forget that WEB FOCUS is Case Sensitive… I guess I’m just a case insensitive kind of guy.

I certainly didn't spot the case difference, I suspect that I'm insensitive too, certainly been called it a lot.

Did the case change help ?

Yes the Case sensitivity and its observation has made the query work... so the next step is an eloquent (simple) code to display what is selected from the HTML options List (left side of page) into a GUI display list (right side) so the user can onclick copy the selection to the display list where a confirmation of items can occur...then the query runs with the selected parameters
