I want to retrieve the value of a field of my screen to put in my url: http://ipadress?p='fieldvalue'.
What should I do?

Hello,

i think you wish to open a new browser tab with the url. We did that in the following way: A textbox on the screen contains the value for the url. In the onclick - event of a button we use that url to open a new browser window. In the onclick - event we coded the following: window.open(getElementValue("bs_maplink"));
The api "getElementValue" gets the value of our textbox. The parameter for "getElementValue" is not the RPG-name of the textbox but it is the "id" of the field. (The most top entry in the properties window).

I hope you can understand my bad English.

An additional entry to my former reply: Maybe you want to change the value of an element. Then you can you the javascript api "changeElementValue". e.g. changeElementValue("txtRefresh", 'Hello World');

Try this:

pui.openURL("http://ipadress?p="+get("myFieldID"));

Hope this helps.
