Hi again.

Obvious follow up question to the first round of questions I posted on passing a report id to INET_RLIST.

I have read all of the documentation and searched through the works code that I have, and cannot find an example of passing free form RLIST syntax via the second paramater of the INET_RLIST function.

If I am understanding this, the reason the following works:

http://oemcomputer/scripts/oicgi.exe/INET_RLIST?REPORT_ID=TESTB

is that I have published a form with a list box control named REPORT_ID, and in the SUBMIT event of the OI form, am passing the REPORT_ID variable to the INET_RLIST function via the first paramater of the function ('request').

Two questions: first, what type of OI control should I use when publishing to the web to allow a user to enter free form RLIST syntax in a web page?

Secondly and more importantly, how do I take that syntax entered and pass it back to INET_RLIST via the second function parameter, rlistscript so that the ad hoc report will be processed?

Any help provided here would be much appreciated.

Again, thanks in advance.

You need to write your own function as a wrapper around INET_RLIST

Function INET_RLIST_DYN(request)

$insert inet_equates

declare function Inet_QueryParam, Inet_Rlist,Inet_Msg

*—

* Did We get a command?

*—

rtext=Inet_QueryParam(request, 'RLIST')

report_id=Inet_QueryParam(request, 'REPORT_ID')

Convert @lower.case to @upper.case in rtext

Convert @lower.case to @upper.case in report_id

varHtml="

Begin Case

Case len(rtext)

• Custom Rlist

	varHtml=Inet_rlist(request,rtext)

Case len(report_id)

• Canned Report

	varHtml=Inet_Rlist(request)

Case 1

• Error

	varHtml=Inet_Msg(request,"Attention: You did not enter an RLIST Command!")

End Case

Return varHtml
