Yes, I'm a newbie.

I'm working on a drill down report that involves a links in an HTML setting. When I click the link, instead of getting the information for that particular link, I get the information for all the links. I know this is something simple, but I can't figure it out. Here's the source:

TABLE FILE VIEW_NETCOLLS
SUM
VIEW_NETCOLLS.NETCOLLS.BADDEBT
VIEW_NETCOLLS.NETCOLLS.CHARITY
BY VIEW_NETCOLLS.LOCCAT2DSC.LOCCAT2DSC
WHERE VIEW_NETCOLLS.NETCOLLS.VPSTPDFY EQ 2015;
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET ASNAMES ON
ON TABLE ROW-TOTAL AS 'TOTAL'
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
INCLUDE = IBFS:/EDA/EDASERVE/_EDAHOME/ETC/endeflt.sty,
$
TYPE=DATA,
COLUMN=N1,
FOCEXEC=IBFS:/WFC/Repository/Bad_Debt_Charity/rpt_base.fex( \
LOCCATDSC2=N1 \
),
TARGET='_blank',
$
ENDSTYLE
END


Any direction would be greatly appreciated!

Can you show us rpt_base.fex as well?

Also, can you show us the html link tag that gets created for the drill-down when you run this focexec?

In my experience it's easier to make the mistake in the target of the drill-down, where you misspell the incoming field name or don't apply it right. Easy enough to do.

And -- a peek at the html that the drill-down generates is useful for figuring out which side of the divide you mis-coded.

I think this may be the rpt_base.fex. I've had to hunt around for it.

-* File: IBFS:/Dev/WFC/Repository/Bad_Debt_Charity/Report1.fex Created by WebFOCUS AppStudio
TABLE FILE VIEW_NETCOLLS
SUM
VIEW_NETCOLLS.NETCOLLS.BADDEBT AS 'BAD DEBT'
VIEW_NETCOLLS.NETCOLLS.CHARITY
CNT.VIEW_NETCOLLS.DEPARTMENT.DEPTDESC NOPRINT AS 'COUNT,VIEW_NETCOLLS.DEPARTMENT.DEPTDESC'
BY VIEW_NETCOLLS.LOCCAT2DSC.LOCCAT2DSC AS 'LOCATION'
WHERE VIEW_NETCOLLS.NETCOLLS.VPSTPDFY EQ 2015;
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET ASNAMES ON
ON TABLE ROW-TOTAL AS 'TOTAL'
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
INCLUDE = IBFS:/EDA/EDASERVE/_EDAHOME/ETC/endeflt.sty,
$
TYPE=DATA,
COLUMN=N1,
FOCEXEC=IBFS:/WFC/Repository/Bad_Debt_Charity/rpt_base.fex( \
LOCCATDSC2=N1 \
DEPTDESC=N4 \
),
TARGET='_blank',
$
ENDSTYLE
END



Where would I find the HTML link tag?

John_Edwards,

I tried posting the HTML but inadvertently posted some info I'm not sure should be public. I deleted the post and am thinking I should do some more research on Drilldowns and approach the task with a little more knowledge. I greatly appreciate your willingness to help. I'm sure I'll be back.

Thank you,
Tony

You need to use the incoming variable to limit your search. Something on the lines of

WHERE FIELD1 EQ &LOCCATDSC2

That's the variable you're throwing, you need to catch it in the target and use it. Whatever field you define in the calling fex's drill-down will appear in the target as an amper-variable.
