Hello
We have upgraded a customer from WebFOCUS 71 to 76. Their application has used a variable &CLICK_ON in the focexec's to determine what object was clicked on in the HTML form.

In 76 this no longer works.
Does anyone have an idea where this variable came from?
We cannot see any definition of it in any configuration files, nor can i find it mentioned in IBI manuals. In some hottrack cases i can see others using &CLICK_ON or &CLICKED_ON in their code but nowhere is it mentioned where it came from.
I have opened a case but thought i would ask here also since it is stalling the upgrade.

I have narrowed this down to differ depending on CGI or SERVLET. If we use CGI in 71 the variable is defined, using WFServlet it isn't. Have not tested CGI in 76 yet but will update this message when i have.
Regards, Mats

Just to give status, this has been determined by support to be a new functionality for wfservlet. It probably never created this variable. Programming is looking at traces to determine what it takes to implement.

The work to implent the variable in wfservlet has been halted. The customer has coded a workaround using a java-script instead.

<script language="Javascript">
function program(click_on){
document.KK01010M.CLICK_ON.value=click_on
document.forms[0].submit();
}
</script>
 
 
<form method="POST"  target="_blank" name="KK01010M" action="/ibi_apps/WFServlet">
        <input type="hidden" name="IBIF_ex" value="KK01011P">
 <input type="hidden" name="IBIAPP_app" value="!IBI.AMP.APP;">
 <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="APP" VALUE="!IBI.AMP.APP;"> 
 <input type="hidden" name="PASS" value="!IBI.AMP.PASS;">
 <input type="hidden" name="USER" value="!IBI.AMP.USER;">
        <input type="hidden" name="CLICK_ON" value="">
 
      <td width="8%" height="21" valign="bottom" align="left">
      <img src="!IBI.AMP.LENK;NYREGISTR.gif" name="NYKNAPP" class="storknapp"
       onclick="program('NYKNAPP')" /></td>
