I just tried your code in 8105 and got an Excel output called REP1.xls. What is it supposed to be doing that's not working?

We are using 8.0.08. I have Excel 2003 and Excel 2010 on my PC. Neither returns a filename of REP1. When we run Excel output, it open in Excel not the browser version of Excel (we are also an IE shop).

I know with Excel 2003 and earlier, what is generated in WebFOCUS is not a true .xls file but a .mht or .xht file format, so that may be part of the issue. The filename I get is WFServlet.ibfs. If I try to save the file, Excel thinks it is a .html file.


In FOCUS since 1985. Prod WF 8.0.08 (z90/Suse Linux) DB (Oracle 11g), Self Serv, Report Caster, WebServer Intel/Linux.

Finally i got some reference from below link

http://documentation.informati...f761sec/wf761sec.pdf

In WebFOCUS Administration Console>Configuration>Redirection Settings, changed the Save Report option to "Yes" for ".xht", ".xmh" & ".xls" WebFOCUS extensions.

So, if u run the report, it will show in ".xmh" format(Report_Name.xmh).
if we Open\Save the report directly from browser, it will ask "How do we want to open this type of file?". we need to select Excel as a default open type from options.

Hope this is the solution for this issue.. Smiler

can anyone let me know is this correct or is there another way to achieve this....
