We can't chain in a launch page in 766.
it dies.
We can't do it in 765, it dies.
I'm told it works in 764, but i haven't seen a working example
Yes, i've opened a case...but its languishing in the nobody cares pile.
If anyone would be kind enought to try:
here's the fex

APP PATH ibisamp
-SET &ECHO = ALL ;
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SALES
BY COUNTRY BY CAR BY MODEL
WHERE COUNTRY IS '&COUNTRY'
WHERE CAR IS '&CAR'
END


and here's the launch page(just the body tag bit), allegedly chained, by 766

it works!
thank you tom flynn!!!!

ok i'll compare line by line and see what the difference is...
you seem to have taken the cacheruntimedata parm out completely...
how did you do that in the gui?

so your gui technique is to:
pick box 1, click dynam, hold down shift, pick 2.
When you click dynam, have you already done the specifying for both box1 and box2 of the dynam file?
When do you pick the chain link icon?

I pick 1, shift key, pick2, then click chain.
Is that wrong?
well, obviously that's wrong... Wink

tom,
i still can't create a chain in my devstu...
but i can run yours just fine.

now when i take your parms, and change them from 'dynamic' to 'fex'... i can't chain.
the little fexes work fine, unchained.
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM CAR BY CAR ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XML
END
and the same for country
then
chaining doesn't work
i change the cacheruntimedata="0", (there is a 'solution' on the css site )..but that doesn't work.
Can I impose upon your kindness again to see if you can make that work?
thanks Tom
-s.

im in IE7...are you?

Susannah,

Are you trying to create this launch page in Apps folders or MRE?

That is very interesting, Tom, as my developers do this all the time. They are mostly business users so tend to use the GUI more than the folks on this forum. I can provide working examples using the CAR file if you would be interested. Let me know.

T, i'm creating them for MRE. and creating them via DevStu accessing the MRE domain directly.

Ginny, if you can show me a working example with the car file, that uses wee little fexes to pop CAR and COUNTRY and chains them...
I'll definitely buy you a beer at the White Horse next June.

Tom,

I did the example in the book and then tried yours. When I did the one from the book, I got the same error that you did. Then I put quotes around the amper variables in the select fexes and the page started working. So the error is in the doc.

Here is the second fex:
-* File ggsales_state.fex
TABLE FILE GGSALES
SUM FST.ST
BY ST
WHERE REGION EQ '®ION';
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XML
END


Change the third one the same way.

Then I copied the first page and change the Region dropdown to be from a master. This worked as well.

I did not do the test with caching on and a single xml fex.

Let me know if this helps you at all.

Try taking out the HOLDLIST PRINTONLY line. That is not in the manual.

I'm doing this from 7.6.5 BTW.

I copied mine from the 5.3 manual and I see it has changed in the 7.6 manual.

Let me change my test and get back to you on the results.

I changed FST to DST and added the HOLDLIST line to each of the focexecs.

Both of my pages worked fine.

What release are you doing this in, Tom?

Well, I did store codes instead of cities, but yes. I did have to turn caching off. But yes, it is working. And I did it both ways, with a focexec for region and another page with master for region.

Just to make sure, I copied the fexes and the pages up to my Unix environment (did it on localhost before) and the pages worked unchanged.

Maybe it is case opening time for you guys.

But before you do that, try doing a fex for region and see if that works.
