IWC.FindAppCGIValue: Finding a WebFOCUS Parameter or Variable Value

How to:

Find a WebFOCUS Parameter Value

The IWC.FindAppCGIValue function finds WebFOCUS parameter or variable values by pairing the parameter or variable name with the Maintain Data variable name to which the value is assigned.

Note: IWC.FindAppCGIValue retrieves values, but cannot directly assign the values to a Maintain Data variable as IWC.GetAppCGIValue does.

Syntax: How to Find a WebFOCUS Parameter Value

IWC.FindAppCGIValue(name,value);

where:

name: Is the WebFOCUS parameter or variable whose value you are finding.
value: Is the Maintain Data variable that receives the value of the WebFOCUS parameter or variable.

Example: Finding a Variable Value From a Launch Form

IWC.findAppCgiValue finds the user name and password values of the IBIC_user and IBIC_pass variables, respectively:

Maintain 
COMPUTE username/A8;
COMPUTE password/A8;
IWC.findAppCgiValue("IBIC_user", username);
IWC.findAppCgiValue("IBIC_pass", password);

Example: Finding Parameterized Data From Excel

IWC.findAppCgiValue finds the values for fields listed in an Excel file:

MAINTAIN FILE car
MODULE IMPORT (webbase2 errors);
Case Top
compute xlsRetail_Cost/a0;
Infer car.ORIGIN.COUNTRY car.COMP.CAR car.CARREC.MODEL
car.BODY.BODYTYPE car.BODY.RETAIL_COST into car_stack;
car_stack.FocCount=1;
car_stack.FocIndex=1;
iwc.findAppCgiValue("COUNTRY",car_stack.country);
iwc.findAppCgiValue("CAR",car_stack.car);
iwc.findAppCgiValue("MODEL",car_stack.model);
iwc.findAppCgiValue("BODYTYPE",car_stack.bodytype);
iwc.findAppCgiValue("RETAIL_COST",xlsRetail_Cost);
car_stack.retail_cost = xlsRetail_Cost;
update car.BODY.RETAIL_COST from car_stack;
EndCase
