All, we are running WebFOCUS for JDE Enterprise One on IBM i. Is there any possibility to point to the correct library without hard-coding it in the .acx file? (yes, we are having multiple tables with the same name in different libraries).

Don't know if it will work in your case, but in mine it does with AS400/DB2-400 IBM iSeries :

acx :
 SEGNAME=TBLNAME, TABLENAME=&&LIB/TBLNAME, CONNECTION=DB2, KEYS=0, $

mas :
FILENAME=TBLNAME, SUFFIX=DB2     , MFD_PROFILE=usual_modules/bidon, $
 VARIABLE NAME=&&LIB,  $
  SEGMENT=TBLNAME, SEGTYPE=S0, $
    FIELDNAME=REGION, ALIAS=REGION, USAGE=A3, ACTUAL=A3, $

fex:
-* File BIDON.fex
-* FEX BIDON USE IN MASTER AS MFD
-*


Then just need to assign &&LIB prior to do your TABLE FILE

-SET &&LIB = 'MYLIB';
TABLE FILE TBLNAME
BY REGION
END


WF versions : Prod 8.2.04M gen 33, Dev 8.2.04M gen 33, OS : Windows, DB : MSSQL, Outputs : HTML, Excel, PDF
In Focus since 2007

Yes, you can define parameters in master file and the use then in master or acx files.

EXAMPLE:
IN ACX
TABLENAME=&&VMS2DBNAME

IN MAS
VARIABLE NAME=&&VMS2DBNAME,

in fex before TABLE REQUEST
-SET &&VMS2DBNAME = 'SOME VALUE';

Thanks guys, it seems to work. That is, if you don't use Info Assist.
