Comments: To: Don Henderson <donaldjhenderson@HOTMAIL.COM>

Thanks for great input!!!

I've finally got the issue resolved :-)

Instead of using the onClick() event, I'm checking the value of the button.
Here's the recipe I ended up with:

/*1. Define global parameters*/
%global runReportButton runrep;

/*2. Set up the button*/
data _null_;
  file _webout;
  put "<INPUT TYPE=""SUBMIT"" NAME=""runReportButton"" VALUE=""Run"" >";
run;

/*3. Check the value of the button and peform action based on the findings*/
%macro runReport;
  data _null_;
   if length(compress("&runreportButton")) = 1 then call symput('runrep',0);
      else call symput('runrep',1);
   run;
   %if &runrep = 1 %then %do;
    %wrapper; /*The user pressed the button. Run the macro!*/
   %end;
%mend runReport;
%runReport;
