[SOLVED] Column title popup description
Hello there,

I'm looking to add a popup description to some across columns in an HTML report. I have set:
ON TABLE SET POPUPDESC ON
and not sure what will follow?

thank you in advance!

From the Technical Documentation, need a login ID:

You can have pop-up field descriptions display in an HTML report when the mouse pointer is positioned over column titles. Field description text displays in a pop-up box near the column title using the default font for the report. Pop-up text appears for report column titles including titles created with ACROSS phrases and stacked column titles created with OVER phrases.

The pop-up text displayed for a column title is defined by the Description attribute in the Master File for the corresponding field.
If a column title has no Description entry in the Master File, then no pop-up box is generated when your mouse is positioned over the title.

For more information about the Description attribute, see Null or MISSING Values: MISSING in Describing an Individual Field in the Describing Data With WebFOCUS Language manual.
