Hi,

The span title portion in the below code does not work when i switch OLAP ON.
When I run the report, the column title that has the span title tag comes out as garbage.
Any ideas how to make that work?

-OLAP ON
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT 
     COUNTRY AS '<span title="Test"></span>'
     CAR
     MODEL
END

You MUST view the source of your example first without the span tag and then with the span tag to see why it's screwing up.

There is a process that one should go through when trying to solve a programming problem, this is one step.

Here's how to fix your particular problem: use single quotes instead of double quotes, because double quotes are being used for something else in the same line of generated HTML code (double single quotes for WebFOCUS because the whole string is within an AS clause which uses single quotes as well (!)

-OLAP ON
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT 
     COUNTRY AS '<span title=''Test''>Test</span>'
     CAR
     MODEL
END
-RUN

But this won't be much good as you will see if you run the new example. What are you attempting to do?

I just want a descriptive text for each column upon hovering the mouse over the column title.The final report in this case is an OLAP report.

I couldn't figure out how to accomplish that the regular way but the following code
displays the text within 
 <>
upon hovering the mouse over the up/down arrow image.So, this becomes the 'makedo' mouseover text.

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
     COUNTRY AS '<MADE IN COUNTRY>COUNTRY' 
     CAR AS '<NAME OF CAR>BODYTYPE'
BY MODEL AS '<Model of Car>MODEL'
END
