Hi, Raj. Do you mind cut-and-pasting your code in a reply? I’d like to see the DSP code and also the HTML code that is generated by the DSP.

Thanks.

I think I have gotten to the bottom of this. The reason why you are not seeing any characters after the space in “IBM Services” is because the variable must be URL-encoded. Your browser (and everybody else’s) will interpret the " " as the end of the variable.

You can verify this by doing a “View Source…” from DSP Page 1. You will see the following: <A HREF=“/Company/Transactions.dsp?name=200&user=IBM Services” TARGET=“_top”>

So, we need to eliminate that space character. Here is one possible solution for you that uses forms and JavaScript and does not require any modifcation to your Flow.

  1. Add a form to your code right below your <BODY> tag:

<FORM ACTION = “/Company/Transactions.dsp” METHOD = “POST” NAME = “thisForm”>
<INPUT TYPE = “HIDDEN” NAME = “name”>
<INPUT TYPE = “HIDDEN” NAME = “user”>
</FORM>

We have now replaced your <A> tag with a <FORM> whose values we will populate when the form is submitted. Also, a form submitted via POST has the ENCTYPE attribute of application/x-www-form-urlencoded by default.

  1. Change your <A> tag to read:

<A HREF=“#” TARGET=“_top” onClick = “document.thisForm.name.value=‘%value COMPANY_CODE%’; document.thisForm.user.value=‘%value USERNAME%’; document.thisForm.submit();”>

Now, when a user selects a link from DSP Page 1, it will populate the HIDDEN values of the FORM and then submit the form as a POST to DSP Page 2.

Raj,

When you fetch values from database and when you are trying to go to next dsp page put the complete string into quotes.

If you put the string withing double quotes you will get the complete string in the next page even if it has spaces.

Thanks
