I am trying to pass an AMP variable from fex to htm but receive the following error:

(FOC36232) UNABLE TO LOCATE END OF !IBI ESCAPE SEQUENCE.

My fex is as follows:

  
-SET &WFV_REPORT_LOAD = 1;
-HTMLFORM &FILENAM
-RUN


My html is as follows:

  
<INPUT id=report_load style="LEFT: -100px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: -100px" type=hidden value=!IBI.AMP.WFV_REPORT_LOAD; name=report_load>


When I run procedure, html displays but if I view source I see the following at end:

  
<!--
(FOC36232)  UNABLE TO LOCATE END OF !IBI ESCAPE SEQUENCE.

WebFOCUS Version 7.6.4 compiled and linked on Wed Nov 14 23:04:33 EST 2007 (Gen branch764:168)
-->


and value of hidden input tag is !IBI.AMP.WFV_REPORT_LOAD; and not 1 as I would expect.

OK, solved my own problem.

Had to modify FEX and HTML to the following:

FEX:
  
-SET &REPORT_LOAD = 1;
-HTMLFORM &FILENAM
-RUN


HTML:
  
<INPUT id=report_load style="LEFT: -100px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: -100px" type=hidden value="<!-- WEBFOCUS VAR REPORT_LOAD -->" name=report_load>


I had to change name of var do to the following error I had received while testing.

  
(FOC36227) VARIABLE NAME WFV_REPORT_LOAD FOR WEBFOCUS VAR IS GREATER THAN 12
CHARACTERS
