Hi,
I have a problem with HTML that is opened from the save parameter reports that
have too long URL.

At first, I thought this problem was caused by too many number of parameters but
it's not.

The original HTML is 1setup_allocation1.htm that contains many parameters. I
tested it by selecting and inputiing parameters and then used the 'save
selection' feature to save these set of selected parameters.

For the save selection report name 320.fex, everything is ok. We can open it
and found the URL is

This URL length is 2083 characters

But when we just changed CREDIT_LIMIT_T from 3333333 to 33333333 and then saved
selection again as 321.fex. When we tried to open it, we got the blank page with
'Error on page' at the buttom left of browser.
The URL of this case is only

http://172.22.200.118/ibi_apps...WORP_LAUNCH_CGI&IBI-
MR_action=MR_RUN_FEX&IBIMR_domain=projctl1/projctl1.htm&IBIMR_folder=%23.olapSa-

LRUN&&WORP_MPV=public&&IBIMR_random=66020&

The URL length should be 2084 characters with each parameter value but it have
only as above.

I also tried to select the more values for multiselect listbox it also generated the same error.

For testing you can create simple procedure like

-TYPE A is &A
-TYPE B is &B
-TYPE C is &C
-TYPE D is &D
-TYPE E is &E.(OR('A')).

and html,with save selection button to run it on MRE. Then give these parameters with the very long values or select many values for the multiselection and save selection. When open these save selection report it should generate URL that is longer than 2083 but it error as I told you

Who can suggest what I can do for solving it?

Please refer to this page.

The maximum length of a url, as discussed here before, in IE is 2083 as you have discovered.

I would suggest to reduce the length of your amper fields.

So instead
&PAY_HISTORY05=FOC_NONE use &P5
&PAY_HISTORY06=FOC_NONE use &P6
&PA-Y_HISTORY07=FOC_NONE use &P7
&PAY_HISTORY08=FOC_NONE use &P8

and

what should this do
&CARD_TYPE=0&CARD_TYPE=3562&CARD_TYPE=4079&CARD_TYPE=4090
&CARD-TYPE=4629&CARD_TYPE=4924&CARD_TYPE=5105&CARD_TYPE=5178
&CARD_TYPE=5221&CARD_TYPE=5256&CARD_TYPE=5275&CARD_TYPE=8577

its the same amperfield every time.....

Hi
Many thanks for every suggestion

For FrankDutch
your question about &CARD_TYPE=0&CARD_TYPE=3562&CARD_TYPE=4079&CARD_TYPE=4090
&CARD-TYPE=4629&CARD_TYPE=4924&CARD_TYPE=5105&CARD_TYPE=5178
&CARD_TYPE=5221&CARD_TYPE=5256&CARD_TYPE=5275&CARD_TYPE=8577

those are the parameter values for multiselection list box.

Shortening parameter names is the way that I think to do but if URL is still limited on 2083 for IE, it can touch this limitation in some case because this HTML page contains many multiselect listbox that user can select mamy values for them.

So, I would like to find the permanant solution.


Best regards,

Surachet

Surachet,

You did not tell us how this html page is being created. Usually an html page with data on it that has to be sent to the server has one or more forms on it to collect and group the data and send it to the server. The default way of doing this is by using the method GET for the form. This will produce a URL that contains all selected data that is in the form. The other method is POST, which will collect teh data and send it over to the server in a message. The url will in that case only contain the part before the ?. This way of dealing with data also has a limit on size but that limit is very much higher than the url length. I have not touched that limit yet.
It may be wise to investigate if you can use this POST method in your environment.

Hope this helps.

Hi GamP
As I told my report is the save parameter reports. This feature is available only on MRE.
The 320.fex contains code

-HTMLFORM BEGIN NOEVAL

<script type=text/javascript>
function OnLoad() {
document.forms.temp.submit(); }

-HTMLFORM END


This .fex will open 1setup_allocation1.htm and apply the saved parameter values for it.

This .fex' code is auto generated by WF when I used the save selection feature.

Best regards

Surachet

Use the [ CODE ] tags! -- unless you prefer to keep your code invisible.

With the veil lifted, we see that the Form has method="get" (and 113 INPUT tags, all "hidden"). Your onload function can change the method attribute to "post".

But will the Save Parameters functionality work with a form with method post?

What does NOEVAL (on the -HTMLFORM BEGIN line) do? "No Evaluation" - but of what?

I couldn't find any documentation.

I would expect the layer that looks for those special input variables and triggers the Saved Parameters process to fire up only after the variables passed (whether via Get or Post) are parsed and copied by the client -- rather than operating directly on the URL string. But it's anyone's guess, until you try it out.

I just pointed out how to try GamP's suggestion. Ball is in Surachet's court.

Hi Surachet,
could you please let me know if you got the solution for this problem.
I am also having the same problem....it will be very useful if you share your solution

thank you....
