I am working on an app where I interact with a Mainframe program which in turn calls my WF reports. The mainframe program passes me a connection id which allows me to link back to that screen. My problem is once the program has linked to one of my reports I am unable to pass the connection id along to the next report and so on. I have exceded my 80 byte limit on my link with the other information I am passing. I was thinking there was a way to keep the value hidden in my HTML screens but that doesn't appear to be work. If anyone has any ideas it would be appreciated.

I think if you set the form action to POST instead of GET, the URL length limit does not get applied. Then you can set your connection ID as a form object.

This is the code I have in my form tag in my HTML document:
name="WFForm" method="POST" action="/cgi-bin/ibi_cgi/ibiweb.exe"
<input type="hidden" name="connectionid" value="!IBI.AMP.CONN;">

Any idea how I use it in my next report. This is what I need to be able to populate in the next WF report I call. I have tried to do a -SET in my .fex but it doesn't appear to be working.

-SET &POL_LINK1 = '/cgi-bin/interact.pl?';
-SET &POL_LINK2 = 'transaction=tran0004' | '&' |'connectionid=&CONN.EVAL';
-SET &POL_LINK3 = '&' | 'formid=view' | '&' | 'app_tran=BIM' | '&' | 'app_func=P';
-SET &POL_LINK4 = '&' | 'sub=&SBY.EVAL' | '&' | 'pol=&POL.EVAL' | '&' | 'div=&DIV.EVAL';

In your next report, the variable is called &connectionid and not &CONN.

To see what is passed from the form to the fex, put this at the top of your fex:

-? &
-EXIT

It doesn't appear that it is getting passed at all. It isn't in my list of &variables. Could I get codes samples that should go both in my first html/fex as well as my second html/fex. I must be missing something.
