problem passing parameter from one QVW to another

Hi,

Flavio's answer :

Application qv.exe

Filename xxxxxx.qvw

Parameters /v%Test='aaa' (the variable name is %Test ?)

works fine perhaps when you enter a constant.(like 'aaa') But if i try passing a program variable it just passes it as a constant

Example:

/vMyVar=Parameter passes the constant "Parameter" and not it's value. I have tried endless ways to pass this and always it considers it a constant.

Is there another way to do this?

I would be very greatful for help on this.

From where are you calling the other QVW?

You could $(Parameter) or the GetContent function over the variable.

I am calling from another QVW. The user selects one item from this first QVW sheet and must pass this item as a parameter to the second QVW. This second QVW calls an external procedure, which needs the parameter as input to populate temp file. This file is then read by the second QVW and displayed as a table.

Maybe there's another way of doing this, not using varialbles?

In QlikView 9, you can pass selections from one QV application to another using an action to open the second application. Are you able to make the same list of values with the same field name in the second application to pass the value between applications?

Regards.
