This is my process. I have FEX1.fex file, in this fex file, I set value for parameter: &SITE. Then, I pass this parameter to HTML file which contains GRAPH by using inputhidden and set value to this control is '!IBI.AMP.SITE!'. This works perfect. Then I want to drill down GRAPH base on that parameter and another value in the graph to another fex file (FEX2.fex). In the drill down code, if I use: 
FOCEXEC=app/FEX2(STAGE=HOLD_STAGE.CVP_STAGE SITE=&SITE), $

FEX2.fex didn't recognize the value of SITE parameter and it returned me blank value for this parameter.
Any suggestion for me in this case?
Thanks in advance.

SITE=&SITE

Can you set '!IBI.AMP.SITE!'as input to a hidden variable in the HTML file and submit to fex2 on click using a javascript?

Cyril: Can you give me your sample code? I don't really get your suggestion.
Martin: I tried that and got the same result, the SITE value in FEX2 is still ' '.

You can add an hidden variable in html. I have not tested below code. You can write something similar.

  

<html>
<script language="Javascript">
function myfunc()
{
document.form.method='post';
document.form.action='location for fex2';
document.form.submit();
}
</script>

<form name=test>
<input type="hidden" name="site" value="IBI.AMP.SITE;">
<input type="hidden" name="IBIF_Ex" value="fex2">
</form>
<html>

In the fex file, call the above javascript,myfunc and pass any parameters as required to the javascript.

Thanks Cyril, I haven't tried your solution yet but I figured out how my code didn't work. In my HTML, I just need to set value for the inputhidden is: !IBI.AMP.SITE; , not '!IBI.AMP.SITE;' so the fex2 can read this parameter.
