URL Parameters - 4/25/2002 13:07:04   
I need to open a report, with the end of the URL being a vendor number. The correct URL when entered on the address bar looks like:

http://server/Cognos/cgi-bin/imrap.cgi?iu=imrap&cd=r&nid=f35b71ac203611d6928ba23468f43ae4&cognospmain+Query_5fVendor+Number=XXXXXXXXX

My problem is, that the last part: XXXXXX changes based on what a person needs. How do I allow someone to enter a Vendor Number, then click OK or something like that and place it on the end of the URL to open a report. This should be easy, but I am missing something!

Assuming the first part is a constant (http://server/Cognos/cgi-bin/imrap.cgi), the form they post from would use "GET" to send the named form value for each variable.
The constants would be added as hidden form values (name + value), and the cognospmain entered in the textbox
