Description

The GSET('HTML', . . . ) function sets the HTML string to invoke when an affected DSGI graphic element in a web page is clicked. The HTML string is used with ODS processing to create a drill-down graph. The string value is used as the value for the HREF= attribute in the image map that implements the drill-down capability.

The value for string must be HREF= followed by a valid URL that is specified in double quotation marks, as in

rc = GSET("HTML", "HREF="http://www.sas.com/"");

The HTML string can be used by any of the following graphic element types drawn in the code: BAR, ELLIPSE, FILL, MARK, PIE, and TEXT. The string applies to all of these element types that are drawn after the string is set. To change the HTML string, set a new value. To turn off the HTML string, specify a null string:

 rc = GSET("HTML", "");
