Good day, I'm kinda newbie to WF and i just ran into an issue today, i'm not using html composer.

Well basically i desgined a web page, that has a "multiple" selectbox, so depending on the user selection a different number of params will be sent to a fex, however the only method that I've used to receieve param is
-DEFAULT %PARAM=''

however this would recieve a param just for a specific var instead of an array, can you guys help me on this one?

Thanks in advance.

Rafael

I think you have a lot of reading to do.

Did you design a web page with an HTML form?

Did you try adding
-? &
-EXIT

to the top of the fex called by the html form? This will show you all the parameters passed by the form. As an example, for a multiple select box named COUNTRY the behaviour is as follows:

- If only one option was selected, a variable named &COUNTRY is created
- if more than one option was selected, several variables are created: &COUNTRY0 is a count of how many were selected; &COUNTRY1, &COUNTRY2, etc. contains the values of each selected option; &COUNTRY contains the value of the first selected option.

To expand on Francis' explaination, by adding the following:

-DEFAULT &COUNTRY0 = '1' ;
-DEFAULT &COUNTRY1 = '&COUNTRY.EVAL' ;

Ths makes the "array" of variables available all the time.
