Hai all

Can some one help me with html composer to get this?

my manager wants an adhoc form. i had all controls, list boxes etc. but he needs one control which shows all available fields that report has and user needs to select what fields he want in the report.

i tried using double list control but it outputs the strings with quotes and OR in between.

is there any way to achieve this without much coding and with GUI?

Thank you..

The double list control is okay.

In the called focexec STRREP the ' OR ' to ' '. I think the quotes are okay, but could also use STRREP to remove.

Then PRINT &variable

Problem is the sort order...

Thanks Alan. I am working on same for now.
Can you provide any sample code to remove OR using those functions?

And I dont think sort order is a problem. User can sort the fields using those arrows in double list control.
so it quotes and OR are remvoed it table request should print the fields in that sort order.

I almost got it to work but not sure what problem is happening with STRREP in dialog manager

DEFINE FILE CAR
F1/A100 = '&C2';
F2/A100 = STRREP(100,F1,2,'OR',1,' ',100,F2);
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT 
CAR
F1
F2
END

this worked when

&C2

is MODEL OR CAR OR COUNTRY.
I got F2 as MODEL CAR COUNTRY.

But when I used the same in dialog manager it gives me error.

  
-SET &C3 = STRREP(&C1LENGTH,&C2,2,'OR',1,' ',&C1LENGTH,&C3);

Can someone help plz?

Thanks

This worked but when I replace last parameter A100 with A&C1LENGTH, it gives me error. any clue?

STRREP does not like a blank replacement character.

You could try the following:

-SET &C2 = 'MODEL OR CAR OR COUNTRY';

-SET &C3 = STRREP(&C2.LENGTH, &C2, 2, 'OR', 0, 'X', 100, 'A100');

-TYPE &C3

Between each value is ' OR '. Since you're only replacing the 'OR' there will be two blanks between each value, so the replacement string can have a length of zero, with the X as a dummy character that is not used.

Beware of using STRREP to replace 'OR' - this will mess up a value such as 'OREGON'.

Use 'A|&C1LENGTH'

And, heed Francis's warning...

This is still giving error tom. it says &c1length not found

You can't put partial code here, we are not mind reader's.

I will "now assume' that the the values coming in are in &C1. If so, the syntax is incorrect, it s/b:

'A|&C1.LENGTH'

This can be overcome by replacing the OR with the trailing and leading space, as follows:

-SET &C2 = 'MODEL OR CAR OR COUNTRY';
-SET &C3 = STRREP(&C2.LENGTH, &C2, 4, ' OR ', 1, HEXBYT(32,'A1'), &C2.LENGTH, 'A&C2.LENGTH');
-TYPE &C3

Nice trick with the HEXBYT.
