I am modifying an html report that is a launch block on a dashboard tab. I am trying to use SUBSTR in the value= of an Option (dropdownlist). I have tried a few things. I'm currently using the code below. When I try and run it, I get the following message: "Error occurred.
ERROR: ERROR_MR_CANT_OPEN_FEX Can't open file to read content." 

 COMPUTE SUB_ORI/A3 = SUBSTR(9,ORI_CODE,3,5,3,SUB_ORI);
<SELECT style="Z-INDEX: 19; POSITION: absolute; WIDTH: 160px; TOP: 110px; LEFT: 20px" id=combobox1 tabIndex=19 size=1 persistentuniqueid="compUid_10" boundtovariable="1" labelid="text7" name="CYWHERE"> 
<OPTION value="( SUB_ORI EQ "CSI" OR "CAI");" displaytext="CSI" noinput="0">CSI</OPTION>


I also tried this code with the same error:
<SELECT style="Z-INDEX: 19; POSITION: absolute; WIDTH: 160px; TOP: 110px; LEFT: 20px" id=combobox1 tabIndex=19 size=1 persistentuniqueid="compUid_10" labelid="text7" boundtovariable="1" name="CYWHERE"> 
<OPTION value="( ( SUBSTR(9,ORI_CODE,3,5,3,'A3') ) EQ "CSI" OR "CAI");" noinput="0" displaytext="CSI">CSI</OPTION>


Do I need to compute the substring within the value= ? If so, what would be the correct syntax for that? Of course, the documentation for SUBSTR only includes an example in an fex.

Is there another way to accomplish what I want?

Thanks!
Theresa

Hi Theresa,

I checked with our technicals and was suggested that this issue may be better addressed by a case with Customer Support Services. To open a case, please call 1-800-736-6130, or access online at InfoResponse.
