[SOLVED] "IF" validation to run html pages

I have a .fex file which I would like to run which will validate a user is in, or not in, a group and direct them to an html file based on the result. If a user is in the group, I want them to see the "tech"(private) page and if not, I would like them to see the other, public, page. Below is what I have:

EX is_member UNAME='REMUSER', GNAME='wg-maximo-wf-users', EPAGE='N'
-IF &LINES GT 0 THEN GOTO PRIVATE ELSE GOTO PUBLIC;


-PRIVATE

-HTMLFORM on-site_tech.htm
-RUN
-DONE

-PUBLIC

-HTMLFORM on-site.htm
-RUN
-DONE


As I am testing this, I am in the group yet I am being directed to the public page. Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Craig

Hi cevans,

You may want to do a -RUN before your IF statement.

See if that helps.

I just tried to run the is_member to check my membership in the group and it returned an error. Must be an error in communication with our metagroup app and WebFOCUS b/c it is not registering that I am in the group. I know I am since I am the one who created the group. I will check with those admins.

Thanks

Hi,

After looking at the code, I'm not sure if DONE is a keyword in WebFOCUS.

You may be looking at to skip to DONE after executing 
 
-HTMLFORM on-site_tech.htm
-RUN

WITH 
  
-GOTO DONE;

After the -RUN

See if that helps.

Best Regards,

Jimmy Pang

Thanks for the ideas but after running the group validation by itself, and failing, I switched the html pages and got the result I predicted. Since I am failing to register as in the group, I am going to the public portion of the file. I changed the tech page to the public portion and it directed me there. This file is working as it should...I just need to get to the bottom of why I am not registering as a member of a group I know I am in.

Thanks.

And, as you said before, that is the same as solving the error you get in the is_member procedure.
Need help with that? If so, show us what the code is in the is_member procedure and what error you get. Check if the call to the procedure is correct. I'm assuming here that your code
EX is_member UNAME='REMUSER', GNAME='wg-maximo-wf-users', EPAGE='N'
is just an example, since the 'REMUSER' you pass is just a literal string, not a variable ...

Assuming that is_member is working try coding it correctly

EX is_member UNAME='REMUSER', GNAME='wg-maximo-wf-users', EPAGE='N'
-IF &LINES GT 0 THEN GOTO PRIVATE ELSE GOTO PUBLIC;


-PRIVATE

-HTMLFORM on-site_tech.htm

-GOTO EXIT

-PUBLIC

-HTMLFORM on-site.htm

-EXIT

JG, you still need a -RUN after EX is_member.

-RUN
-SET &WHATPAGE = IF &LINES GT 0 THEN 'on_site_tec.htm' ELSE 'on_site.htm';
-HTMLFORM &WHATPAGE

(might need &WHATPAGE.EVAL)
