All,

Have an ampersand in the string that is passed in.

When I use something like this
HEADING
""
""
"&BR"
""
And the value is in &BR is "Bill & Jake"

I get "Bill" only.
What is the work around for this problem?
Thanks in advance.

If that value is hardcoded one, then you can make that as Bill & amp Jake.

Here is something else you can try:

-SET &STRING = 'Bill &| Jake';
-TYPE STRING: &STRING

Also if you are getting the string passed from a GUI you could ascii encode the string. We did this and it works great.

Your url should look something like this:

http://servername/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_ex=report.fex&HEADING=Bill+%26+Jake

I decided to replace all the & in my inbound character strings with + using the CTRAN function.
MYFIELD/A30=CTRAN(MYFIELD,30,38,43,MYFIELD);
ascii for & is 38 and for + is 43
Cheating, i know,
but works for me!

Used the recommended suggestion from reFocusing in my VB.net code and it worked like a charm.
