Hello everybody,

First, excuse me if my english is not perfect.

Here is the problem I have.

From a html page, I call a fex with the current user profile (we are in trusted mode for the password)
(https://..../ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_ex=w8fichehis_parm&IBIC_user=XXXXX)

In the fex call w8fichehis_parm, I just have these 5 lines to call a form
-SET &DAT_DEB = '01/01/1980';
-SET &DATEEDT = EDIT(&DMYY,'99/99/9999');
-SET &DAT_FIN = &DATEEDT;
-HTMLFORM w8fichehis_parm.htm
-RUN

These form has only 2 calendar fields to allow the user the choose the starting date and the end date for the report and a push button to submit the request.
On the button, I have defined a Hyperlink, action = external procedure, source=the name of the procedure to run, etc....

When I click the button, I received a failure message "Error when trying to connect to server node, invalid references.".
I know that it's a security problem, I have changed the site.wfs file to add IBIC_U=user(PASS) but it still does not work.

If you have any idea to help me, I'm waiting for you !

Merci beaucoup (= Thanks a lot in french).

Cati,

Are you using the HTMLFORM w8fichehis_parm.htm in any other procedure? The reason I ask is that you need to make changes to the HTML contained within it.

Basically, to pass a variable from an HMTL page to a fex, you must have it declared within the HTML. Now because you are using the syntax -HTMLFORM [formname] you can make use of the ability to include variable values from the host fex using the !IBI.AMP.[variable name]; syntax.

Insert an HTML tag between the form tags in your w8fichehis_parm.htm like this -
<input id=IBIC_user name=IBIC_user value="!IBI.AMP.IBIC_user;'>
That should work for you OK.

Bon chance
