Hi Fellow Focusers!

I need some help here. I have an application was was built in Apps Studio 8009. I'm trying to convert it to our new version 8202M. When I click on a link that should open up an html file and pass a variable named account_number, I keep getting a FOC1517 error. Anyone seen this before? What can I do to get rid of it? Any help will be greatly appreciated. See error image below.

Also here's the section of code that creates the link. This file runs perfect at run time, its when I click the link that I get the error.

PS. this all worked perfectly in the 8009 version.

TYPE=DATA,
     COLUMN=N3,
     TARGET='mapoutput',
     FOCEXEC=1_patient_bed_recommendation.htm( \
     ACCOUNT_NUMBER=ACCOUNT_NUMBER \
     ),
$

Are you running these from the Domain or leaving them on the ibi/apps directory?

Does this open in App Studio without error?

I'm running it in the ibi/apps directory. Yes it opens up and runs with no error until I click my link

You're running an HTML file as if it were a FOCEXEC. No wonder the interpreter complains.

You probably should use URL= instead of FOCEXEC= in your drilldown.

That, or your HTML file also contains FOCUS code, in which case it should have a .fex extension and wrap the HTML inside -HTMLFORM BEGIN and END statements.

Are you saying that in 8009 this drill down actually works? Was the FOCEXEC= hand coded? I don't think App Studio will allow you to set an HTM file to Execute Procedure from the GUI.

Hi BabaNYC, yes it does work in 8009. Yes the FOCEXEC was handcoded.

Then 8009 was allowing a technique that's not quite legit. Sometimes, those back doors get locked without notice. Any possibility you'd consider changing your approach? Perhaps there's an easier way to accomplish the same thing that won't put you in an unsupported/undocumented technique. What does the HTM file accomplish? A drilldown usually passes a value to another report/chart.

Is this in a "-HTMLFORM BEGIN / END" code block?

Ok thanks guys. I'll start the process over in 8202M and see what I can accomplish.

Try replacing your drill down with this:
  
TYPE=DATA,
    COLUMN=N3,
    TARGET='mapoutput',
    URL=/ibi_apps/run.bip?( \
    BIP_REQUEST_TYPE='BIP_LAUNCH' \
    BIP_folder='IBFS:/WFC/Repository/[path to the folder that contains your report]/' \
    BIP_item='1_patient_bed_recommendation.htm' \
    ACCOUNT_NUMBER=ACCOUNT_NUMBER \
    ),
$

Of course making sure that BIP_folder contains the correct path to the folder that has your htm file in it.
