IBI WebFOCUS - Dynamic Column control using Double-List box

In other words we can say user needed self-service kind of option same as we have with InfoAssist where user can select the columns which he wantsto print in the report.

However in the next screen shot we have selected 4 columns and the output is displayed in the below screen shot. Selection Screen: Output Screen:
