Hi Guys,

Hope you guys can help me out, I encountered error (FOC160) THE OPTION AFTER THE WORD 'FORMAT' IS INVALID: WFFMT on the following code.

quote:

TABLE FILE CUST
SUM
'CUST.CUST.MALE' AS 'Male'
'CUST.CUST.FEMALE' AS 'Female'
BY 'CUST.CUST.AGERANGE' AS 'Age Range'
ON TABLE SUBHEAD
" "
" "
HEADING
"APPLICATION APPROVED FROM <+0>&dateFrom <+0>TO<+0> <+0>&dateTo"
" "
"AGE VS GENDER"
" "
FOOTING
" "
" "
" "
"Private & Confidential"
"Report Generated On <+0>&DATEtrDMYY<+0> "
WHERE CUST.CUST.IPFDAT NE 0;
WHERE J0.APPL.ANAVST EQ '009';
WHERE STDT GE DATEFROM;
WHERE STDT LE DATETO;
WHERE CUST.CUST.IPFDAT NE 0;
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM ON
ON TABLE ROW-TOTAL/I11 AS 'Total'
ON TABLE SUMMARIZE AS 'Total'
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT &WFFMT
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON


&WFFMT is obtained from a HTML select with the name of WFFMT.

Thanks and hope to hear from you guys.


Regards,
Kevin Tong

What value does &WFFMT have in your request? It seems that the value provided was "WFFMT"which is obviously not a valid format.

Can you run: 
-TYPE WFFMT = &WFFMT
right before your TABLE FILE statement to determine exactly what value is your focexec receiving?

You may also want to take a look at the HTMl <select> item to determine exactly which values are being passed.

Better yet, just add 
-SET &ECHO=ON;
before TABLE FILE and run the whole thing. If you still get the error message, it sould be very simple to determine exactly what code is being processed after &WFFMT have been resolved.

Kevin,
If you picked 'User' in the output type you have a choice of which outputs you would like to have for any given report:
 ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT &WFFMT.(<HTML,HTML>,<PDF,PDF>,<Excel 2000,EXL2K>).Select Output.
This line of code will provide a drop down with the output choices of HTML, PDF, or Excel 2000. It will have a heading in the auto prompt that says "Select Output". All of the 'Periods' in the line of code are required for this to work properly. The other option would be to create an amper variable called &WFFMT. Use a -DEFAULT and a -SET with an if statement to allow for the different output types. Example:
-DEFAULT &WFFMT_out = 'XL';
-SET &WFFMT  = IF &WFFMT_out EQ 'HT' THEN 'HTML' ELSE IF &WFFMT_out EQ 'XL' THEN 'EXL2K' ELSE 'HTML';
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT &WFFMT

I hope this helps...
