Hi,

I have created one procedure and then launched that procedure through HTML page. I have four parameters in the report. In some combinations records do no exist. In this case a new window popup with the following message

No HTML Output!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


0 NUMBER OF RECORDS IN TABLE= 126 LINES= 126
ACCESS LIMITED BY PASSWORD
0 NUMBER OF RECORDS IN TABLE= 126 LINES= 126
0 NUMBER OF RECORDS IN TABLE= 0 LINES= 0

First thing it should not open the new window becuase if it finds records it displays in the same window. so it should display the above message in the same window as well.
Instead of this message i would like to display the message in the same frame instead of opening a new page. i.e. Records do not exist against your search criteria. in the same frame.

MH,

This probably is already somewhere in this forum. Use search...


anyway:

TABLE FILE (your query)
END

-RUN

-IF &LINES NE 0 THEN GOTO ENDIF
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<HTML><BODY>No results found.</BODY></HTML>
-HTMLFORM END
-ENDIF


Unchecked, but it's something like this.

greets,
Dave

Isn't this the right time to read the manual? Also, with the correct search criteria, you will find a lot of solutions on this forum.

Like I said...

- It's unchecked...
- Use search...

and I agree with Francis.
If you are planning to learn webfocus through this forum...
...don't.



by the way...
a ; is missing at the end of the line starting with the -IF

Besides checking the number of lines returned you'll probably also want to check that no error occurred. If I recall correctly the variable to check for that case is &FOCERRNUM - that's a bit harder to find, especially if you're (like me) used to errno.h in C, that's why I mention it here Wink

Thank you everyone for the prompt reply. Now it works fine when i run individual procedure.

It is still opening a new window when I call the same procedure in HTML.
I have created one HTML page and on a button Hyperlink property I have given the procedure name in the source and Frame name in the target. Not sure why it is opening a new window.
Any idea?

If the report is opening in a new window, then that command is being issued at the time the report is being run and not by anything in the code that Dave supplied.

If you created your own HTML page, I would start looking there as that is probably where your issue is. Check the XML REQUEST tag to see where it is telling the report to open up.

 
<request requestid="0" targettype="0" targetname="_blank" sourcetype="typeFex" ibif_ex="app/car.fex" IBIMR_folder="#car" ibiapp_app="">


Above is an example of xml from one of my reports. Notice how I have targetname="_blank". that is the request that tells the report in what window to put the report. I want it to go into a new window so I said _blank. To put the report into a frame on the page you would use the frame name for that element. If you want it to replace the current page you would use _parent.

If this isn't what you need then please also include your html code and focus code so that we can better understand what you are trying to acheive. Otherwise we are guessing and won't be able to effectively help you.

A more webfocus-centric approach. Same basic code, just a different implementation. May solve the empty HTML window issue.

quote:

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
*
WHERE MODEL EQ 'POTATO';
ON TABLE HOLD AS MYREPORT
END

-IF &LINES EQ 0 THEN GOTO NORECS ELSE GOTO DOREPORT;

-NORECS
-TYPE +---------------------------------------------+
-TYPE | No records have been returned for this |
-TYPE | request. Please try again later or with |
-TYPE | different criteria. |
-TYPE +---------------------------------------------+
-GOTO ENDIF


-DOREPORT
TABLE FILE MYREPORT
PRINT
*
END
-GOTO ENDIF


-ENDIF
