HI Balaji,
Using the following functions you can call the Dropdown Values Dynamically.

It would also require in depth knowledge of the FOCUS language. You would have to create procedures to load your lists dynamically, you would also need to learn about HOLDING files, using the !IBI.AMP.; and !IBI.FIL.; syntax as well as utilizing –HTMLFORM commands.

i thind it would be helpful for you.

Thanks,
Kalyan

Balaji,

To populate a combo from a procedure you will need to have two values in your table request and, most importantly, ensure you hold the output locally using ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XML.

e.g.
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM FST.COUNTRY
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XML
END
