I am having difficulty capturing a parameter from a URL string within a hidden field on my launch page to be sent to a stored procedure.

It doesn't seem to want to get the value from the URL string. However, I have date range values within the launch page that is sent to my other fex without a problem.

WHERE FD GE '&QRYDATE1' AND FD LE '&QRYDATE2'

I am in HTML Layout Painter now - When I reference the fex within the Launch page it prompts me to select parameters; however, the one that is not working is not listed as an option- &USERCOOK

I attempting to captured the value of &USERCOOK and send it the value needed for my stored procedure within a fex example:
URL String: https://bi.unisonsite.com/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_ex=op....fex&USERCOOK=jhomle

stored procedure:
ENGINE SQLMSS SET DEFAULT_CONNECTION VAEQ-FSSQL1A
SQL SQLMSS
EX dbusasms.dbo.sp_USARptOriginationTrends2 '&USERCOOK';

Help! No one seems to have any guidance for me. I opened a ticket number 21152107 and am getting no help.

OK I got the &USERCOOK to be regonized by the HTML Layout painter; however, it still won't get and them pass the &USERCOOK=jdoe to my fex.

How do you get a value from a URL string and pass it to a fex from a launch page???? Anyone?

Ok, I think I get what you are trying to do. Correct me if I'm wrong.

- You have a URL that calls a fex (op...fex) with a parameter USERCOOK.
- The Fex calls a HTML page with a form in it that the user will eventually submit.

So, if I am correct, then you would like the USERCOOK to included in the html page as a hidden parameter so that it can then be passed to a subsequent request. If this is correct, make the value of the hidden parameter to be like this:
 <input type="hidden" name="USERCOOK" value="!IBI.AMP.USERCOOK;">

Hope this helps
