New Accessibility Parameters for HTML and PDF Report Output

How to:

Two new SET commands have been implemented, which can be issued individually or together within a procedure (FOCEXEC) to produce Section 508-compliant report output in either HTML or PDF format.

These commands have been implemented in Report Painter and the Developer Studio Set Tool. For more information, see Report Painter Enhancements and Developer Studio Enhancements.

For complete information about Section 508-compliant HTML report output, see Technical Memo 4505: WebFOCUS HTML Report Accessibility Support.

Syntax: How to Produce Section 508-Compliant HTML Report Output

In a procedure:

SET ACCESSHTML = {OFF|508}

In a TABLE request:

ON TABLE SET ACCESSHTML {OFF|508}

In a GRAPH request:

ON GRAPH SET ACCESSHTML {OFF|508}

where:

OFF

Does not generate report output that is compliant with Section 508-level accessibility. OFF is the default value.

508

Generates HTML report output that is compliant with Section 508-level accessibility requirements.

The SET ACCESSIBLE command is superseded by the SET ACCESSHTML command. SET ACCESSIBLE is still supported, and when set to 508, it will generate HTML report output that is compliant with Section 508-level accessibility requirements. However, SET ACCESSHTML allows for future expansion to support additional accessibility standards.

The ACCESSIBLE command and the ACCESSHTML command can be specified in the same procedure or series of procedures. The last ACCESSIBLE or ACCESSHTML command issued before a request specifies whether or not to generate 508-compliant report outputs.
