[Isis-users] COMMANDS FOR PFT

[De Smet Egbert]

You have to make sure the 'v' part is outside the quotes, so : 
if p(v856) then '<tr><td width=20% valign=top><font face=arial size=2><b>URL</b$
<a href= "',v856^u,'"> Full text available</a> </td>' fi/

Hi,

I have tried this : if p(v856) then '<tr><td width=20% valign=top><font face=arial size=2><b>URL</b$
<a href= "v856^u"> Full text available</a> </td>' fi/

but I get the message
Not Found

The requested URL /central/dataentry/v856^u was not found on this server.

What could be the issue?

Salomon,

It is rather easy. As you know, in order to have a clickable link you should have something like this in HTML:

<a href=http://www.salomon.org>salomon</a>

Now, suppose the text www.salonon.org<http://www.salonon.org> is in v856^u, then you should have in you PFT:

“<a href=http://”v856^u”>”, v856^u”</a>”

You can make any variation you like, e.g. not showing the name of the link but maybe the text “full text available” etc.
The tricky part is that sometimes http:// will be in the data, and other times not, or it may be https:// or ftp:// etc.; so you should take that into account too and check this in you PFT first, which of course then will be a bit more complex.
