Hi there, i'm trying to call a procedure with parameters from my formsubmit. i would like to call that procedure once my submit button is pressed. I did this :
HTP.formOpen(twbkwbis.f_cgibin||'MyPackage.MyProcedure(param1, param2, param3, param4)');
twbkfrmt.P_PrintText('<input type=submit name=ACTION  value="Soumettre">');
HTP.formClose;
but i had that 404 error page not found .
i also did this :
twbkfrmt.P_PrintText( htf.formSubmit(NULL, 'Soumettre', cattributes=>'ONCLICK= " return MyProcedure(param1, param2, param3, param4) " ') );
and still the same error...does anyone have an idea to help me with this...thank you

Hello and welcome to the list,
To call your MyPackage.MyProcedure procedure as the submit action of a form use code like this:
HTP.formopen('MyPackage.MyProcedure ','POST');
HTP.formtext('param1');
HTP.formtext('param2');
HTP.formtext('param3');
HTP.formtext('param4');
HTP.formsubmit(cvalue=>'Soumettre');
HTP.formclose;Note that when your code gets called it will be passed named parameters corresponding to each of the fields defined in the form, so if your procedure has 4 paramters named param1, param2, param3, param4 then you need 4 fields on your form with the same names, additionally the should each be defined with a default value such as NULL since unfilled fields on the report are not guaranteed to be passed to your procedure. If you have fields in your form with names other than the paramter names in your procedure you will get an error.
As you can see there is no need to define the parameters in the formopen procedure, and no need to define an onclick handler on the submit button. Also you don't want to name the submit button unless you are going to pass the value of the buttons label (the cValue) to your procedure as a paramter.
