I thought I'd post this in case anyone else might find it useful. I've seen examples on the forum using a JavaScript array as the source for a DataTable, but didn't find any that directly uses the HTMTABLE hold format.

One thing I struggled with was that the html table generated by WebFOCUS didn't format the header row with thead tags, so I used some simple jQuery to incorporate those. Other than that, the implementation is pretty straightforward.

-* File: IBFS:/DEV/WFC/Repository/Common/Datatable_Car_Example.fex Created by WebFOCUS AppStudio
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
    CAR.BODY.SALES
    CAR.COMP.CAR
BY  CAR.CARREC.MODEL
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET DROPBLNKLINE ON
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE HOLD AS HTBL FORMAT HTMTABLE
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
     INCLUDE = IBFS:/EDA/EDASERVE/_EDAHOME/ETC/endeflt.sty,
$
TYPE=TITLE,
     COLOR='BLACK',
     BACKCOLOR='WHITE',
$
TYPE=REPORT,
     COLUMN=N3,
     SEQUENCE=1,
$
ENDSTYLE
END

Awesome first post, Sarah.

Thanks for sharing this.

Yep, I tried this out, and saw the WF HTMTABLE formatted within the DataTables construct.

Thanks again.
