I want the end user to be able to enter an Integer. The Fex works as expected.

When I bring the fex into HTML Composer an Edit Box Control is created for this variable. The Parameters tab has it linked to the variable as expected. Yet an entered value is not respected by the fex, and asks for the parameter within the report frame. I assume the issue is with the Settings tab of the Edit Box Control.

Please help!

Related fex code:

-DEFAULT &NUMMO = 3
-SET &Dummy2 = '&NUMMO.().# Rolling Months:.';

Hi Nicholas...

I've tried the same. Works fine.



Some questions:
do you happend to have a .fex in a frame set to "Auto Execute" ?

This will execute the fex even before then "run" button is pressed in the form?

or...

Does it prompt for the same parameter? really really the same? Or something similar?

NUMMO is numeric, so prompt for numeric not alphanumeric -

-SET &Dummy2 = &NUMMO.# Rolling Months:.;

Also, lose the () as you are not specifying any optional values.

Awesome! have it working thanks for the help!

So in this case the single quotes is setting the expectation of alphanumeric?
ie) it has nothing to do with the spaces in '# Rolling Months:'?

Can you right click on the fex and check in properties if "Prompt for paramters" is checked? If it is, uncheck it.
