Drill Down Only If....

In WebFOCUS 5.2.6, is it possible to create a drill down only if the field is equal to a particular value? For example, if x = 'Me' open me.fex else don't do anything (not even a link)

And, is it possible to create a drill down that opens a different fex based on the value? For example, if x = 'Me' open me.fex else if x = 'You' open you.fex.

New to this....thanks in advance.

absolutely mcgeorge!
use WHEN= syntax
TYPE=DATA,COLUMN=THING,WHEN=SOMETHING EQ 'ME',
FOCEXEC=SOMEFEX(some parms),$
I do it all day long like that.

The feature i want is WHEN= on each individual DRILLMENUITEM...that would be heaven.

Thanks, Susannah. I am using Dev Studio and I put the following:

TYPE=DATA,
COLUMN=N14,
SIZE=9,
WHEN= UNIT_MAIN.UNIT_STATUS EQ 'FLAGGED',
FOCEXEC=UNITDIS(UNIT_NO=N4),
$

Dev Studio changes it to the following:

TYPE=DATA,
COLUMN=N14,
SIZE=9,
WHEN= EQ 'FLAGGED',
FOCEXEC=UNITDIS(UNIT_NO=N4),
$

But, I don't get any links for that value. Any ideas where I went wrong?
Thanks again!

Perhaps DevStudio balks at the qualified field name.

Try the WHEN clause without the qualified name:

WHEN= UNIT_STATUS EQ 'FLAGGED',

Thanks, Francis. I tried it, but Dev Studio still changes it to the following:

TYPE=DATA,
COLUMN=N14,
SIZE=9,
WHEN= EQ 'FLAGGED',
FOCEXEC=UNITDIS(UNIT_NO=N4),
$

just a thought...
are you sure you are pulling the field
UNIT_STATUS into the report
even perhaps with a NOPRINT
and you're not just referencing a field in the same record in the source file, but not actually bringing it in to the report?
Can you try with the CAR file, the file we all use to test things and communicate with each other.
