HTML in Heading ?

I would like to add some html code in the heading of a report. I thought I might be able to just create an amper variable and assign the HTML code to it. Then use the amper variable in one of the heading lines. Like the following:

-SET &RADIO ='INPUT TYPE=RADIO...'

(I left the < out in the message as the BB thinks I really want too show the tag.)

The problem is that WebFocus thinks the "<" symbol means I want to pipe the contents of a variable instead. So it's looking for a variable named INPUT.

I didn't want to use a template if I didn't really need to. Any ideas?

Yes, you can do that

-SET &RADIO1='INPUT TYPE=Radio value="xX">';
-SET &RADIO2='<' | '&RADIO1' ;
you can do this way or you can use DEFINE
-SET &RADIO1='INPUT TYPE=Radio value="xX">';
DEFINE FILE TEST
RADIO/A100v='<' | '&RADIO1' ;
END

Yes, I know that I could use a define to create a field on each row. The problem with that is that the types of reports I want to use this on have a large number of rows. So if the field that contains the radio button code is say 100 characters you'd be adding that to every row.

I was hoping not to add a lot of overhead to the report. Or maybe I'm not quite following your idea?

You are going to use that DEFINE Field only in your Heading.

HEADING
" <RADIO "

If you do not have too many output rows then you could use a COMPUTE instead of the DEFINE which is only computed on each output row instead of each input row.

Failing that you could just COMPUTE a single field (say ht/A1) and equate it to the left carat with the NOPRINT option. Then you can just replace the opening tag with that field something like -
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM RCOST
    DCOST
    COMPUTE ht/A1 = '<'; NOPRINT
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
BY MODEL
WHERE COUNTRY EQ '&Country'
HEADING
"<ht|form name=form method=get action=/cgi-bin/ibi_cgi/ibiweb.exe>
-* The following code should all be on one line!
<ht|table><ht|tr><ht|td width=10%>
England
<ht|/td><ht|td><ht|input name=Country type=radio value=ENGLAND checked=1><ht|/td>
<ht|td width=80% rowspan=2><ht|input type=submit><ht|/td><ht|/tr>
<ht|tr><ht|td width=10%>
Italy
<ht|/td><ht|td><ht|input name=Country type=radio value=ITALY><ht|/td><ht|/tr>
<ht|/table><ht|/form>"


Any help?

p.s. apologies that the line is soooooo wide, but you have to be careful with breaking up of the heading tags that WF generates! Frowner

This works:

-SET &RADIO1 = 'Radio 1<INPUT TYPE=RADIO VALUE="RED">';

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT MODEL
BY COUNTRY
HEADING
"THIS IS THE HEADING"
"!IBI.AMP.RADIO1;"
" "
ON TABLE HOLD AS H001 FORMAT HTMTABLE
END
-RUN

-HTMLFORM BEGIN
!IBI.FIL.H001;
-HTMLFORM END
