Pls see following code
-* File excel_save.FEX
FILEDEF H1 DISK H1.FMT
-RUN
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
*
WHERE MODEL EQ 'TR7';
ON TABLE HOLD AS H1 FORMAT ALPHA



END

FILEDEF H1 DISK H1.FMT (APPEND
-RUN
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
*
WHERE MODEL NE 'TR7';
ON TABLE HOLD AS H1 FORMAT ALPHA
END


FILEDEF &MANAGERSELECTED DISK C:\'&MANAGERSELECTED'.XLS
TABLE FILE H1
PRINT
*
ON TABLE HOLD AS '&MANAGERSELECTED' FORMAT EXL2K
END


In 5.2 this works but in 7.1 the input parameters are not asked..
Pls let me know y?


Also ON TABLE HOLD AS EXL2K in 5.2 saves in XLS format but in 7.1 it saves as XHT???
What and why this difference?

1st parameter prompting is a configuration issue.
Go to the WebFocus Administration console and make sure that you have it correctly configured.
By default it is not and if this is a relatively new install it probably is not.

2nd WebFocus EXL2K has never been an Excel XLS document, it has always been an XHT (extended HTML) document
(look at the 5.2 documentation).
Issuing a filedef determines the suffix but not the content.
Run the report in 5.2 and open the file in a text editor and you will see that it is XHT format.

How that is handled by the browser is determined by your browser version and settings.

How it is handled by Excel is determined by the Excel version.

Also in 71 do not put quotes ' around the AS name as in the new 713 production version it will use
them as part of the file name.
