getContextFields

Retrieves the ContextFields property (see webrprop.i), a comma-separated list of Fields for which URL parameters are needed to keep context for subsequent requests to this object.

Location: webrep.p

Parameters: None

Returns: CHARACTER

Notes:

The Property should be used whenever the HTML page needs to append the context information to the URL being sent out as URL parameters. This can be seen in a Web report generated using the Report wizard in the following line:

ASSIGN TmpUrl= url-format(?,getContextFields(),?).

The Embedded SpeedScript templates for both Report and Detail Web objects use this function. ExternalTables, ExternalRowIds, and Columns that are used as Foreignfields are examples of context fields.
