Hi,

I have an html page which I would like to invoke directly, say - http://192.178.231.14:8080/app...st/plan.htm?PlanID=2

This html files contains a frame, which invokes a Maintain Procedure which is an Update form. The record that needs to be updated is the PlanID in the URL.

Is there anyway I can capture this PlanID inside the Maintain procedure, within the frame in the html page?

In the HTML, grab the variable from the initial url with an onload and create the iframe url.
for a url like:
http://localhost:8080/approot/baseapp/passvar.htm?car=TRIUMPH

use a js function:
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Parent</title>
    <script>
window.onload=function() {
var data=location.search;
if(data) {
    data = window.location.search.substring(1);
    var childFrame = "http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_cmd=MNTCON%20EX%20PASSVAR" + "&" + data;
    child.location.href = childFrame;
    }
};
</script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <iframe name="child" id="child" src=""></iframe>
  </body>
</html>


In the Maintain, use getHTMLfield.
MAINTAIN file car
.
chosenCar/a16 = formName.getHTMLfield("car");
.
for all next country into carStack
  where car eq chosenCar;
.

the parameter is case sensitive, so must match the name as passed in the url.
