Can someone help me with how to use PopUpDesc for a field in a SUBHEAD? I can only find information on how to use it in a title. My report output is HTML and I have one field with a value with another field that contains the text to display.

Laurie,

As you know POPUPDESC uses the DESCRIPTION attribute of the Master File.

When WebFocus generates the HTML, it adds a 
  
<span ONMOUSEOVER="IBI_popupDesc(descCol0)"; ONMOUSEOUT="IBI_killDesc()">

where descCol0 is the description of the first field in the report. Subsequent fields are numbered accordingly.

What you can do is ape this. For example: a modified CAR master
  
FILENAME=TCAR,SUFFIX=FOC
SEGNAME=ORIGIN,SEGTYPE=S1
 FIELDNAME=COUNTRY,COUNTRY,A10,FIELDTYPE=I,DESCRIPTION='Country Name',$
SEGNAME=COMP,SEGTYPE=S1,PARENT=ORIGIN
 FIELDNAME=CAR,CARS,A16,DESCRIPTION='Manufacturer',$
SEGNAME=CARREC,SEGTYPE=S1,PARENT=COMP
 FIELDNAME=MODEL,MODEL,A24,DESCRIPTION='Special Model',$
SEGNAME=BODY,SEGTYPE=S1,PARENT=CARREC
 FIELDNAME=BODYTYPE,TYPE,A12,DESCRIPTION='Body Type',$
 FIELDNAME=SEATS,SEAT,I3,DESCRIPTION='# of Seats',$
 FIELDNAME=DEALER_COST,DCOST,D7,DESCRIPTION='The thief',$
 FIELDNAME=RETAIL_COST,RCOST,D7,DESCRIPTION='The poor guy',$
 FIELDNAME=SALES,UNITS,I6,DESCRIPTION='How many went',$


And a fex which will use the description of the COUNTRY field:
  
SET POPUPDESC=ON
DEFINE FILE TCAR
XCHAR/A100 ='<span ONMOUSEOVER="IBI_popupDesc(descCol0)"; ONMOUSEOUT="IBI_killDesc()">COUNTRY</span>';
END
TABLE FILE TCAR
SUM SALES
BY COUNTRY
 NOPRINT PAGE-BREAK
BY CAR

HEADING
"<XCHAR <COUNTRY "
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
END


You can play a bit with the concept.
