This code would prompt for a variable in earlier versions for the user to input, but now just give an error.

TABLE FILE GGORDER
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF

Check under:

WebFOCUS Administration Console > Configuration > Parameter Prompting

ibi_wfdescribe is probably set to OFF. Changing its value to something like XMLRUN will enable prompting on reporting server procedures. Please check documentation for other possible values depending on what you need to achieve.

That did it... Thank You

A new issue has arose.. Now that parameter prompting is on, All of my GUI front ends that were created with the composer are now promting for something called RPTNAME

jsData.ampers[i].name = "RPTNAME";

quote:

"RPTNAME";

If that variable is unimportant to you you can

 -DEFAULT &RPTNAME = 'FOC_NONE' 

or use FOC_NULL once they get rid of the old one.
It will ignore the ENTIRE where statement that references that variable including any other AND or OR's attached to it.

All that did was populate the input box with the work foc_none.

jsData.ampers[i].name = "RPTNAME";
jsData.ampers[i].fieldName = jsData.ampers[i].name;// "Field" + i;
jsData.ampers[i].type = "default";
if( jsData.ampers[i].type == "unresolved" || jsData.ampers[i].type == "default" || jsData.ampers[i].type == "prompt" )
jsData.ampers[i].inForm = 1;
else
jsData.ampers[i].inForm = 0;
jsData.ampers[i].format = "";
jsData.ampers[i].min = "";
jsData.ampers[i].max = "";
jsData.ampers[i].strDef = 'FOC_NONE';

WORKING FINE NOW, JUST NEEDED TO FOLLOW ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS.
