[SOLVED] Display fex title on report at runtime

Let's say I have a fex file named Report1.fex but it's "Title" is "Whatever I want". The title is what an end user sees.
I know to use amper variable &FOCFEXNAME to display the fex file name. It would print Report1.fex at runtime.

How do I, in my fex code, display the Title in the header?

Thanks!

Very good question!

Try &MR_FULL_FEXNAME.

You can determine this by using the command

-? &

Unfortunately, this command cuts off the parameter names to 12 characters and the parameter values to 61 characters, so it's better to use this undocumented feature to see the full parameter names and values:

-? & SAVEPRINT

&WF_TITLE does the trick for my scenario where my fex file is on the content server.

Thank you for replying.

I came across this as the "tip of the month". I'm not finding anything in the documentation on either of these variables.

I'm not able to get these variables to resolve to anything. Am I missing a set command to activate this feature or something?

Kevin, I think these parameters are only available in WebFOCUS 8, and they seem to be ON by default - - no extra settings required (which is usually done in the site.wfs file).

Kevin there may be configuration issues to resolve. the &names mentioned in previous posts are delivered and i have used them in the past.

To get the variable &MR_FULL_FEXNAME to render I first had to save the report I added it to, then run it. But it does work now. This is much more useful than &FOCFEXNAME which does not reference the fex title or name.
