I'm having a problem that there must be a way to solve but I cannot figure it out. I'm doing a simple request: SUM, BY, ACROSS, as follows:

TABLE FILE MASTERFILE
SUM CNT.ACCT
BY TRAN_CODE
ACROSS MONTH
END

The output looks basically like a spreadsheet, with tran codes going down the side and the months across the top with the actual numbers populating the rows and columns. I want to be able to drill down into the report and see the details of each each tran code and month. For example, if the summary report says that 5 transaction with a code of 0001 occurred in Jan, I want to be able to click on the 5 and get the detail in another report. I can pass the appropriate tran code as a parameter but am having trouble passing the month. How can I make this work?!

Are you using ACROSSCOLUMN for the drill down?

TYPE=DATA,
ACROSSCOLUMN=N1,
FOCEXEC=fexname(MONTH=A1,TRAN_CODE=N1),
$

which should work okay.

Yes I am using ACROSSCOLUMN but it seems to be passing a blank value to the report...

Just tried it with:

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM CNT.LENGTH
BY SEATS
ACROSS COUNTRY
.
.
TYPE=DATA,
ACROSSCOLUMN=N1,
FOCEXEC=fexname(COUNTRY=A1 SEATS=N1),
$
.
.

and that seems fine.

Can you have a look at the 'view source' and confirm that you have something like:
..&IBIF_ex=fexname&CLICKED_ON=&MONTH=01&TRAN_CODE=0001...
to check if the URL is formed correctly.

Something goofy is going on with this. When I look at the source behind the report it doesn't seem to be passing the month correctly. This is what it looks like:

ex=IMPTXDET&CLICKED_ON=&MONTH=&TC=0014&THEREGION=015

Any thoughts?

My example works correctly:

http://ocdt70070610:8080/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_webapp=/ibi_apps&IBIC_server=EDASERVE&IBIF_ex=XTEST1&CLICKED_ON=&XSEATS=4&XCOUNTRY=JAPAN

Make sure you are referencing the correct BY and ACROSS fields.

One FOCUS quirk: if you specify an incomplete field-name (the first few characters of the field-name, e.g. SEA for SEATS, FOCUS will use the first field in the file that matches SEA, so, if you have SEATS_ONE and SEATS_TWO, it will use SEATS_ONE - verify that the field name MONTH in the style-sheet drill-down is the correct one.

quote:

ex=IMPTXDET&CLICKED_ON=&MONTH=&TC=0014®=015

Something is at the back of my mind here to do with quotes in the values that the drill down is picking up.
Won't be able to follow up as out for a few days.

Here's a little more detail on this situation. I am joining together two FOCUS database files, the REGION field is in the from file, the TC field is in the to file, and the month field is a defined field based on a field on the to file. Any thoughts?

Stephen

That should be OK. Is the fex too long to post here?

Here's the fex:

-* File imsumam.fex

IMSUMAMH.SEG01.ACCT IN IMSUMAMH TO MULTIPLE IMSUMATH.SEG01.ACCT IN IMSUMATH

END

I figured out what is causing the problem but I have no idea why this causing the problem. Whenever I take out the page-break on the report header the problem is resolved. Any idea why this might be?

Stephen

I can't explain why PAGE-BREAK causes the problem, but

" End Audit Dt: " "

is wrong, if that's the way it's really coded, so is

"Page " "

. I did not go through your code with a fine-toothed comb (there's someone else that appears to be good at that!)
