I have not found this exact case yet on Focal Point. I'm using InfoAssist Dashboard WF 8.1.05. I have a dashboard with 4 radio button controls that controls 2 graphs and a report. However, the report also has a drilldown that goes to more detail. I need to pass one of the values from one of the radio button controls (value not available in the report) to a drilldown on the report along with some additional columns of the report to bring up the drilldown report. I can't figure out how / where I can specify sending that radio button value to the drilldown report... example... my radiobutton control is called "radiobutton_5"

You need to pass the parameter to the report, then in the report add this parameter to the drilldown...

Once the parameter value is available to the report you can do whatever you want with it. If you want the a column COL1 with the parameter value &PAR1, then you need to define a column like

COL1/A10 = &PAR1;

If you don't want to use the parameter in the main report but only in the drilldown report, the parameter value does NOT have to be in a column, you add it to the drilldown with code something like this:

...
PARAM99=&PARAM99.QUOTEDSTRING \
...


If you do want the parameter value in a column, follow WF1326's advice. You can also put the parameter value in a report HEADING or FOOTING.

One thing I use from time to times is cookies. Cookies have to be enabled as WebFOCUS uses them.
