TryFocusProblem with List Box
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

Francis MarianiMy 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.

Tony AI 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.

rubenibiThere's nothing like Microsoft's Support Page
TryFocus see this link to ger more info about URL Length in Explorer. Like
