solv Report initially shows results for default parameter values, not selected values

Hello everybody,

I don't know how to explain this. I will explain it with a scenario. I have two parameters on my report form. Default values for those two parameters are "A" and "B". I change them to "C" and "D" before running the report. The report initially shows the values for "A" and "B" while executing for "C" and "D". After the report is done running for "C" and "D" it shows the values for "C" and "D". Is there a setting some where to avoid this behavior ?

Thank you very much.

Shravan

Can you post your code, within the code brackets - IF it's not too intense. If it is too intense, can you duplicate it with either the CAR or EMPLOYEE file and post that code?

Doug,

Do you think this is caused by something in HTML file or .fex file (This does not happen when I run the .fex by itself. It happens only when I run it using the parameter(HTML) form)? Which one do you want me to post ? (None of them are intense.)

Sounds like browser caching problem. Try clearing it and see if it behaves the same..or just try it on another machine.

Pawan,

Clearing the cache did not help. It happens on all the machines.

Thanks.

Sounds like you may not be passing the parameters correctly from your html page. At the beginning of the fex, try a -TYPE &variable (insserting your variable) or use a -? & to see the parameter values the fex receives. Then -SET &ECHO=ALL; and view source after running the report.

One possibility is that you are using different parm names in the launch page and the fex (remember that parameters names are case sensitive to WF.) To venture a further guess, we would need to see your code (please include within code tags.)


Regards,

Darin

Thanks Doug. Thanks Pawan. Thanks Darin.

The "autoExecute" property of the report IFRAME was set to "True" by default. After I set it to "False", I am not facing this problem.

Well, that explains the behaviour. Makes sense.

If this is really solved, kindly update the title of this post to reflect that it is [SOLVED].
Thank you.
