Re: ACS Hotspot For URL

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Convert it to a pushbutton and forget the hotspot solution.  I gave up 
on hotspots a long time ago because users never could agree on what they 
wanted checkboxed and what they didn't want checkboxed.  Here is an 
application that uses pushbuttons:

Another solution is to make it an input/output field (protected) and use:

**

*RTNCSRLOC(&RECNAME &FLDNAME) RECNAME 10A H FLDNAME 10A H***

As a bonus, either solution allows the URL to be a variable so that a 
URL change does not mean a recompile yet the user sees a meaningful 
phrase.  Like "Web Info" or "Home" or "Some Useful Phrase."
