I'm new to WebFocus and to this forum so please bare with me. What is the correct way to embed html tags into WebFocus procedures i.e. headers or footers. I tried doing something like the following code but I keep getting this error -> "(FOC406) THE FIELDNAME IS NOT RECOGNIZED: A"

This is an example of what I'm trying...

-SET &LINK = 
'<a href="somepage.html">Link</a>';


TABLEF FILE AWTAP_WF_EDP_STATUS
PRINT
'COL1'
'COL2'
'COL3'
HEADING
"Workforce EDP Status Report"
" &LINK "
FOOTING

WG,

Don't know what you are trying to do, probably a link to a HTM program on the server, but, a SEARCH on href may help:

  
DEFINE FILE CAR
   LINK/A100 = '<a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a>';
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
   RETAIL_COST DEALER_COST
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
HEADING
"Workforce EDP Status Report"
"<LINK"
" "
END
-EXIT

Can I use a variable to store the html or does it have to be stored as a "DEFINE Field"?

May be impossible to do with a variable because of the special meaning of both the left caret and ampersand in WebFOCUS. Besides the DEFINE solution, you can also use the StyleSheet.

TABLE FILE CAR
 PRINT RETAIL_COST DEALER_COST
 BY COUNTRY
 BY CAR
 HEADING
  "Workforce EDP Status Report"
  "Google"
  " "
 ON TABLE SET STYLE *
  TYPE=HEADING, LINE=2, URL='http://www.google.com', $
 ENDSTYLE
END
