Home Screen link OK, custom icon problem

[Code4fun]

Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I have not been successful in creating a link with a custom icon to run a Smart Basic program.
I can successfully create a link on my homescreen for any Basic program using the default icon.
i created a custom icon (167 pixel x 167 pixel with screen scale factor of 2 (for iPad Pro homescreen) and placed the png file in the ROOT directory with the program file.
Program file name = program.txt
Icon file name = programIcon@2x.png
Both files in root directory.
The link I entered in Safari was:
https://nitisara.ru/sb.php?program.txt& ... con@2x.png
Side note: Even though it may not look like it (above), the character following program.txt in link is in fact the ampersand in BASIC).
A Home Screen link is successfully created but it has a plain white icon, not my custom icon.
Anybody know what I might be doing wrong? I played around with this for awhile and am not getting anywhere.
Thanks!

You need to use Internet address of your custom icon file. You cannot use local file for your icon.
Please read documentation with example in it.

What you write:
https://nitisara.ru/sb.php?programIcon@2x.png
is not an Internet address of your icon file.

For example:
http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/tree ... t-icon.png
is a correct Internet address of an icon file.

Ok, thank you.
I actually found another way to accomplish what I wanted using Apple Shortcuts.

I tried a test using[*] the icon you provided.

The link above launches Smart Basic fine and runs the desired program, but when I try to add the icon to my Home Screen, the Add button is ghosted.

You did it correctly, but you did not type a desktop title in the top field (marked red):
