How can I receive parameters in the first program working with isCOBOL Web Direct?
Estimated Reading Time: < 1 Minute
The parameters must be added to the end of the URL and they are received by the COBOL program as chaining parameters.
For instance, this URL:
http://localhost:8180/wd2/zk/IsMainZK?PROGRAM=MYPROG&PARAM=ABCDEFGHILMN123456789will pass the value "ABCDEFGHILMN123456789" to the COBOL program that contains this code:
...
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 hlink.
05 p1 pic x(3).
05 p2 pic x(9).
05 p3 pic 9(4).
05 p4 pic 9(5).
...
PROCEDURE DIVISION chaining hlink.
