Passing a parameter to a ASP to create another URL

[njitter]

Hello,

i'm using an application to pass a parameter to a Crystal Reports file

The problem is that the application that creates this string has a limit on the length of the string.

I would like to create a ASP file (show.asp) that will take the ID (BAG0001) as a parameter and refresh the page with the correct URL (shown below)

so show.asp?id=BAG0001 should come up with the string below and open the report in a Window.

[URL unfurl="true"]http://cals/obeliks/crystal/agreements.rpt&user0=crystal_group6&password0=crystal&user0@subarticle.rpt=crystal_group6&[/URL]
password0@subarticle.rpt=crystal&user0@subitems.rpt=crystal_group6&password0@subitems.rpt=crystal&prompt0=BAG0001

I have no need to hide the username and passwords, it's just that the application is not able to create such a long string.

Anyone got a suggestion??

You could probably do a page with just a Response.Redirect and concatenate everything together:

<%
Option Explicit

Dim id
id = Request.QueryString(&quot;prompt0&quot;)

Response.Redirect &quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://cals/obeliks/crystal/agreements.rpt&user0=crystal_group6&password0=crystal&user0@subarticle.rpt=crystal_group6&[/URL]
password0@subarticle.rpt=crystal&user0@subitems.rpt=crystal_group6&password0@subitems.rpt=crystal&prompt0=&quot; & id
%>

You could move any non-static argument to this page, provide you can pass them here in the querystring.

Tarwn,

works almost except for the fact that the ID is not added to the string.. I changed the option to response.write to see what happenend..

i used

http://cals/obeliks/crystal/show.asp?id=bag0001

<%
Option Explicit

Dim id
id = Request.QueryString(&quot;prompt0&quot;)

Response.write &quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://cals/obeliks/crystal/agreements.rpt?user0=crystal_group6&password0=crystal&user0@subarticle.rpt=crystal_group6&password0@subarticle.rpt=crystal&user0@subitems.rpt=crystal_group6&password0@subitems.rpt=crystal&prompt0=&quot;[/URL] & id
%>

gives

[URL unfurl="true"]http://cals/obeliks/crystal/agreements.rpt?user0=crystal_group6&password0=crystal&user0@subarticle.rpt=crystal_group6&password0@subarticle.rpt=crystal&user0@subitems.rpt=crystal_group6&password0@subitems.rpt=crystal&prompt0=[/URL]

as output...

Some stupid mistake on my side i suppose...
