Passing a Parameter to a FEX and Running that FEX 1

I am trying to run a parameterpage.fex from a calling.fex.
The calling.fex should pass a rptname (parameter) to the parameter.fex

My code goes like this:
-* CALLING FEX
-SET &RPTNAME = 'app/airimpor.fex';
EX gpnpm9fq
-RUN


The parameter does not recognize the parameter being passed to it. It's as if the parameter &RPTNAME never gets passed.

Thanks,

Leo ;-)
 
If you're passing parameters between different fex's, you must use double-ampersand variable field names, i.e. call your field &&RPTNAME. You can reset this at the end by saying: -SET &&RPTNAME =;
 
Better is to -include the called focexec:

-* CALLING FEX
-SET &RPTNAME = 'app/airimpor.fex';
-INCLUDE gpnpm9fq
-RUN

This does not trigger another agent on the server to run the request
