Description
WEB READNEXT FORMFIELD retrieves the
next name-value pair in an HTML form.
The data is returned in its unescaped
form (see Escaped and unescaped data for
an explanation of this).
Options
- FORMFIELD(data-area)
- specifies
the buffer to contain the name of the form field being retrieved. The case
of the name is as it is stored in the form.
- NAMELENGTH(data-area)
- specifies the length, as a fullword binary
value, of the form field name. The actual length of the name is returned in
this data area. If the length of the form field name is less than the size
of the buffer, the form field name is placed in the leftmost byte positions.
- VALUE(data-area)
- specifies
the buffer to contain the value corresponding to the name returned in the
FORMFIELD data area. CICS® unescapes any escaped characters before placing
them in the buffer.
- VALUELENGTH(data-area)
- specifies the length, as a fullword binary
value, of the form field value. The actual length of the value is returned
in this data area. If the value exceeds the buffer length, it is truncated.
If the length of the form field value is less than the size of the buffer,
the form field value is placed in the leftmost byte positions.
