i am creating a drop-box in html-layout painter.
And it's a auto-populated dropbox via a procedure call.
What should be the hold format in the procedure.

on table hold as hld format alpha/xml >> not pulling the values in the drop-box...


any help for this ??

tks...sam

Sam,

You need at least two data columns and the format must be XML -

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM FST.COUNTRY
 BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XML
END

As a sample

T

To add to Tony's remark. The first column is the value that will be passed, the second column is what displays. Any sorting must be done prior to the creation of the output if you want the order of display different than how for example Tony shows it.

This process is well-documented in the "Developing Reporting Applications" manual, chapter 6.

thanks Tony...
