For some reason i thought this attached code would pass multiple select values to a fex but im only returning the first value selected.

Any idea what im doing wrong?

							<SELECT id=listbox1 style="HEIGHT: 100px" size=3 name="CATEGORY_CODE" multiple size=3 operation="OR">
									<OPTION value=FOC_NONE selected displaytext="Select All">Select All</OPTION>
									<OPTION value='A' displaytext="A">A</OPTION>
									<OPTION value='B' displaytext="B">B</OPTION>
									<OPTION value='C' displaytext="C">C</OPTION>
									<OPTION value='D' displaytext="D">D</OPTION>
								</SELECT>


I would assume if A and B are selected the value i should be passing in "Category_code" would be "A OR B" but its only passing "A"

This could depend on what the where clause is in your fex. Can you post the fex's where clause.

Example where for multiple
WHERE CATG_CDE EQ &listbox1.(OR(FIND CATG_CDE IN CAT_TABLE)).listbox1.;

Example where for single
WHERE CATG_CDE EQ '&listbox1';

Ah; I just saw you have a different name than the ID. The above example should have CATEGORY_CODE instead of listbox1

Example where for multiple
WHERE CATG_CDE EQ &CATEGORY_CODE.(OR(FIND CATG_CDE IN CAT_TABLE)).CATEGORY_CODE.;

Example where for single
WHERE CATG_CDE EQ '&CATEGORY_CODE;

Erney,

When passing multiple values from a combo box, the URL produced will have multiple values of the variable. In your instance you would have /WFServlet?........&CATEGORY_CODE=A&CATEGORY_CODE=B

WF interprets this for you and provides the following variables at runtime -

CATEGORY_CODE = A
CATEGORY_CODE0 = 2
CATEGORY_CODE1 = A
CATEGORY_CODE2 = B

You will find many posts in ths forum regarding suggestions on how to read and process these multiple values.

To add a little tip for debugging:
If you wish to see what is being passed on to your fex from the html-page you could do a '-? &' on the very first line of your fex, followed by a -EXIT.
This will show all &vars being active at the moment of issueing the command, and thus will show you exactly what's been passed on.
Hope this helps.
