Selection criteria

In URLs, the selection criteria are specified as HTTP query variables.

Each query variable is specified as a variable name followed by '=' then a value. The variable names and values must be escaped using the HTTP standard notation, where necessary. Multiple query variables should be separated by an ampersand (&) character.

The Web User Interface supports query variables as follows:

Query variables that can be used for menus and views
Query variables that can be used for views only

Query variables that can be used for menus and views

You can use the following query variables for both menus and views:

CONTEXT: This is the CICSplex name.
CMASCONTEXT: This is the CMAS name.
SCOPE: This is the CICSplex, CICS® group, MAS or logical scope name.

Query variables that can be used for views only

You can use the following query variables for views only:

A_attrname, where attrname is the name of an attribute: This is an attribute filter. You can specify any number of attributes on a URL. You can specify characters, numbers, CVDA or EYUDA values. The default operator for an attribute filter is equality (=). If you want to use a different operator you can specify the operator value on the O_attrname query variable. See Table 1 for a list of operators and their values.
FILTERC: When FILTERC is set to 1, the request will force filter confirmation processing when the view is displayed.; If FILTERC is not present, or is not set to 1, filter confirmation might still occur depending on the GLOBALPREFILTER Web User Interface system parameter or the user group option Force filter confirmation.
P_parmname, where parmname is the name of a parameter: This is a parameter filter, as used for a CICSPlex® SM API GET command.
O_attrname, where attrname is the name of an attribute: This is specified with the A_attrname query variable to change the equality (=) default operator. For a list of operator values that you can specify on the O_attrname query variable, see Table 1.
Note: When using generic values, only the equal to (=) and not equal to (<>) operators are valid.

Table 1 lists the meanings of operator value (mnemonic) and operator value (numeric).

Table 1. Operator values for the O_attrname query variable
Operator value (mnemonic)	Operator value (numeric)	Meaning
EQ	1	Equal to
NE	2	Not equal to
GT	3	Greater than
LT	4	Less than
GE	5	Greater than or equal to
LE	6	Less than or equal to
