0007317: GET parameters passed as selector reference columns to selectors are not properly encoded.

Description

At [1] you can specify a list of columns as in or out parameters for selectors. When you specify a column as in parameter and a window has a fieldname matching the parameter, then the field-value is passed into the selector as an additional GET-parameter.

However the values are not (properly) encoded. So if the value contains special characters which have to be encoded (i.e. + or -) then this are not visible inside the selector as they are lost.

[1] Application Dictionary || Reference || Reference >> Selector Reference >> Selector Reference Columns

Steps To Reproduce

One example where this problem can happen (only reproducible for developers).

Go to Application Dictionary || Reference || Reference >> Selector Reference >> Selector Reference Columns for the Selector Product
Add a new entry productiontype.
Change the reference of the Field M_product_id of the Tab 'I/O Products' of the 'Process Plan' window to Search, and specify Product as search reference key
Change the Product-selector to debug-print the value of the 'inpproductiontype' parameter.
Recompile the 'Process Plan' group of windows
Go to the 'I/O Products' tab and open the selector
See in your added debug-code that you do not get the value correctly (as productiontype contains either + or -)

Proposed Solution

Change Logic for building this GET requests for properly encode all parameters (in wad)
