Hi guys,

I need to populate my "List Box" go tap the user selection criteria for my Report.

Some How-- when I select more than 50 from List Box. all the Values are not being passed to FEX program.

If i select less than or equal to 50 my report works fine and all the variables like
&list1, &list2 .....&list50 EXISTS or created.

In normal Programming aspect like ASP.NET & C#.Net. There's no limitation on number of selectioned Variable initializations.

Does WebFocus has limitations like we cant created more than 50 variables like &list51, &list52...&list100.

Any suggestions is highly appreciated.

Thanks

My guess is that it's not a limitation of WebFOCUS, but of the HTML form. If you haven't yet, try changing the form action from GET to POST - forms with POST do not have a limitation.

I remember when I was on the IBI techsupport desk in London (as a contractor) a Customer had a similar problem and I found that GET had a limitation of a certain number of characters which was just under 2048 I think.

Using POST was the solution though as Francis recommends.

There's nothing like Microsoft's Support Page Big Grin

TryFocus see this link to ger more info about URL Length in Explorer. Like Tony A said, the error could be that Smiler
