Hi! I'm learning with WebFocus, and after two weeks of work, I have a few questions that I can't answer searching o reading the documentation.

-Can I execute an API call in the heading of a chart? I know that it's possible to execute commands like "Total:
-Also, Is it possible to execute more than one command in the heading? I mean, use, for example, SUM SELLS BY COUNTRY.
-And, is there a command to get one of the values from a graph? For example the last or the two last values.

Thank you!

PS: Sorry for my English Sweating

I have no idea what you consider an API call in this context and you are providing very little detail.

To the first 2 questions the short answer is: "No, you can't execute any command from a heading". You can however reference fields from your results in your heading. See the documentation on the HEADING statement.

As for your last question, the answer depends on your situation. You can, for example, store the results of your TABLE request in a HOLD file and query that for certain values to use later on, as well as base your graph on it. It depends on what you intend to do with those values whether you would read them using a (FOCUS) TABLE request or a (dialog manager) -READ or -READFILE statement. Again, see the documentation.

Thanks, I'll continue looking the documentation and trying with the HOLD files (and no looking for execute commands from a heading Sweating ) .

Thank you!
