SP_HTML_FILTER

This procedure allows you to create a basic form screen for your procedure. Most of the reports we create require some sort of user input to specify such things as employee number, department number, or period end date. sp_html_filter probably handles 90% percent of the things you might want to specify. Of course if there is an option that sp_html_filter does not recognize and is not documented below, you can't use sp_html_filter.

No one thing in Sybernet is all that complicated. What is complicated is mixing all the features that are available into an application. Did I set the format correctly? Did I set the content-type right? Did I call sp_cron_insert and sp_cron_insert_parmater correctly? Did I call sp_print with the required information?

For each input field, you will pass to that parameter a value of TRUE or FALSE. A value of TRUE means you want to include that parameter in your form screen; a value of FALSE means you don't. A value of FALSE also means sp_html_filter will not pass that parameter name to your procedure. The syntax also allows you to specify a default value when that makes sense. 

    <name> => -- ' ----- TRUE --------------------------------- ' ----------------------------------
                     |           |     |                   |
                     |           |     |                   |
                     '-- FALSE --'     '-- ( <default> ) --'

There are cases when it makes sense to pass a default value when passing FALSE to this parameter, but most of the time you wouldn't do this.

Many of the input fields created by sp_html_filter are drop-down lists. In general, the user is presented with a list of descriptions while your procedure will receive the actual value for this parameter name.

sp_html_filter also supports row level security with the SECURITYTYPE parameter. SECURITYTYPE can be PUBLIC or SECURED. PUBLIC (the default) means all departments are displayed. SECURED means only the departments that this user can see are displayed. If you specify SECURED, however, it is your responsibility to implement this in your procedure because the user can specify all departments, divisions, or groups.

Example

The following example illustrates how to call sp_html_filter: 

       
SP_HTML_FILTER
(
    PROCNAME                      => HTTP.MYSELF.NAME
,   VERSION                       => HTTP.MYSELF.VERSION
,   TITLE                         => HTTP.MYSELF.TITLE
,   BUTTON                        => 'Report'
,   TARGET                        => 'CENTER'
,   DEPARTMENT                    => 'TRUE'
,   "GROUP"                       => 'TRUE'
,   DIVISION                      => 'TRUE'
)

Passing TRUE for any one of DEPARTMENT, DIVISION, or GROUP means you get a table of all departments, divisions, and groups. A value of TRUE for that item means that column is clickable and its value can be passed to your procedure.


Example

The following example illustrates how to call sp_html_filter to request an employee ID or name: 

DELTEK.SP_HTML_FILTER
(
    PROCNAME                      => HTTP.MYSELF.NAME
,   VERSION                       => HTTP.MYSELF.VERSION
,   TITLE                         => HTTP.MYSELF.TITLE
,   BUTTON                        => 'Report'
,   TARGET                        => 'CENTER'
,   EMPL_ID                       => 'TRUE'
)

Because this option also creates a name field that is suitable for searching, your procedure must also accept that field. In Costpoint it is called LAST_FIRST_NAME; in PeopleSoft it is called NAME.


Example

    AND    ( ROLLUP     IS NULL OR ROLLUP     = DIV_CD             )
    AND    ( ACTIVITY   IS NULL OR ACTIVITY   = DEPT_CD            )
    AND    ( DEPARTMENT IS NULL OR DEPARTMENT = SUBSTR(ORG_ID,3,3) )
