When you looked at your WebFOCUS report, you may have noticed that the EMAIL column contained links, as shown in the following image. Clicking on these links may result in a warning message.
The creator of this report set up the last column so that clicking it executes a script.
If you open the report (by double-clicking it) and page down almost to the bottom, you will see the following line of code:
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=N4, JAVASCRIPT=Email_Script(N4), $
This line is looking for a JavaScript function named Email_Script. In this section, you will create this JavaScript function. The function will enable end users to send email to the address they click in this column.
This command creates a JavaScript library. You will be writing the Email_Script function in this library.
function Email_Script(address) { location = "mailto:" + address; }
Note: Type this code exactly as shown. JavaScript is case-sensitive.
