Does anyone know if you can turn off amper variable autoprompting at the FEX level?
We have Ver 7.1.1 and I can turn off amper auto-prompting globally, but don't want to do that if I don't have to.

Dennis_VThanks susannah, that works great!
Still wondering how to turn this off for self service reports though. Any ideas?

susannahdennis,
in ss, you -DEFAULT &MYVAR = 'fred';
so that every use of that variable already has a value.
if you want to override that value, then the launch page form sends thru a string...just like what Denver shows you...with the value of that &MYVAR attached to the command string.
if there is no value (ie if you're taking the default) then there doesn't need to be anything added to the command string. The default will just take over.
Just make sure to -DEFAULT every one of your &VARS that you're getting prompted for.
ok?

reFOCUSingIts the IBIF_wfdescribe that was added to the URL that will remove the prompting of variables.
Check on the '
Disable Amper Auto-Prompting for self-service application' case.

Dennis_VThis works like a charm! Thanks to all.
I had just turned off the Auto-Prompter globally but now we can selectively turn it off as needed.
