I have a WebFOCUS program which uses numerous fexes to build a report. Each fex is somewhat time consuming and I am wondering if there is a way to set it up where the numerous fexes would run concurrently rather than in order.
If you have an HTML launch form, and this form calls for the execution of the multiple Focexecs when the SUBMIT button is clicked, or the form autosubmits when it is called, then all of the focexecs are assigned to different WebFocus tasks and run in parallel.
The output could appear in different frames of the Form or whereever.
You don't need multiple targets, just multiple forms in your html. Here is the JavaScript code to submit all of the forms but it gets a little more complicated if you need to pass the parameters from one form to the others. Your form tag then needs to run this JavaScript OnSubmit.
function suball() { document.form1.submit(); document.form2.submit(); document.form3.submit(); }
hmmm. this is very interesting. so for ex, 2 forms. no submit button per se in each form. Each form could have a the same or separate targets. just one submit button with javascript. I wonder if i could have 2 forms, 2 fexes, same target. 1st fex clears the target frame, because it runs faster. the 2nd fex populates the target frame with its results. What do you think, WFuser?

How do the 'numerous fexes' contribute to the single 'report'? If their results are homogeneous (in the sense that they produce HOLD files with uniform MFDs) and the objective is to use TABLE to format a report against the combined data -- I've done that and can provide some details.
