I am very new to webfocus. recently my company purchased and I am trying to build some applications via webfocus. I creaed a procedure to create distinct AsOfDates which I want to use as a dropdown for date selection on a html page.I created this list as a temp. file. I created a html form and added combo box. now I am populating this combobox from the dynamic list and pulling from the temp file. I created anohter seperate procedure as SQL report with data as a parameter for the Stored Procedure. Now on HTML i have a sumbit button and i have to pass the drop down value from (asofdate) to this procedure. Anyh help or pointers will be great. Thansk, Rao | ||

Rao, Please update your signature as per this topic as everyone has been requested to do, so that if you ask release or platform specific questions we can respond accordingly. Thank you. HTML form controls generally have a "name" attribute. In URLs these "name" vales are included together with their value. WebFOCUS accepts these pairings and they become WebFOCUS variables. So, for instance, in the URL http://yourserver/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_ex=yourfexnam...der&variable1=value1 etc. WebFOCUS will set a variable called &variable1 to the value of value1. If you code a -? & within your fex, you will be presented with a list of the variables available to that process. I would recommend getting your company to send you on some training courses with IB.

RAO, I am assuming you are on WebFocus 7 or higher since your company just purchased it and that you are using IBIs screen development tool to create the HTML. Unfortunately, at this location I can't check this because we are on 5.3, so I am doing this from memory. In the screen development tool(or in the HTML editor), there is a way to give your fields a name(on the right side of the screen). The name that you assign here is the name that the program uses for the values passed. If you name your field ASOFDT in the form, it is &ASOFDT to your program. You can use: -TYPE &ASOFDT -EXIT in your program to check to see if the values are passing correctly. With most alphanumeric variables you will also want to check for a value of FOC_NONE which means no selection was made. Welcome the club and good luck!
