Value of form field
$Web_Form_Parm retrieves the value of a field on a form.
$Web_Form_Parm takes four arguments, and it returns a string (or null for any error condition).
Syntax
%string = $Web_Form_Parm( fieldname, occurrence, start, len )
Syntax terms
| fieldname | The name of the form field, returned by $Web_Form_Name. A required argument if occurrence is not specified, otherwise it is optional. |
|---|---|
| occurrence | The occurrence number of a form field, or the occurrence number of the form field matching fieldname, if fieldname is specified. An optional argument if fieldname is specified, otherwise it is required. |
| start | Starting position within the field. This is an optional argument which defaults to 1. |
| len | Length to return. This is an optional argument, provided in case a form field exceeds 255 bytes. The length of a form field can be determined with $Web_Form_Len. The default is the length of the form field. |
Examples
This example places the value of each parameter on a form into a User Language %variable of the same name.
* Stash the form values in matching fields. %CUSTOMER_NAME = $Web_Form_Parm( 'CUSTOMER_NAME' ) %CUSTOMER_NUM = $Web_Form_Parm( 'CUSTOMER_NUM' ) %ORDER_NUM = $Web_Form_Parm( 'ORDER_NUM' ) %ORDER_DATE = $Web_Form_Parm( 'ORDER_DATE' ) %ORDER_ITEM = $Web_Form_Parm( 'ORDER_ITEM') %ORDER_ITEM2 = $Web_Form_Parm( 'ORDER_ITEM', 2)
