Greetings all,
MAINTAIN is running as a servlet now and I am trying to call it via a url on a web page. I need to be able to extract fields from the url string, and finding that impossible. I have tried both the old and new options presented in the manuals:

Various URLs I have tried:
http://aidsdb:8080/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_cmd=MNTCON%2...IBIC_server=MAINTAIN
http://aidsdb:8080/ibi_apps/WFServlet?SITE_NUMBER=0009&...IBIC_server=EDASERVE

Note that adding the -v into the string crashes.


The Top case in the MAINTAIN file:
Case Top
Declare Posvar/i2 = sys_mgr.GET_inputparams_count();
type "posvar " | Posvar;
SITER/A10 = IWC.GetAppCgiValue("SITENAME");
type "SITER = " | SITER;

Infer site.SITE.SITE_NUMBER into SiteStk;
Winform Show_and_exit Site_Record_Edit_Form;
EndCase

Neither Posvar or Siter end up with value (Posvar is zero).
Much of the material for the urls is generated by WebFOCUS via the drill-down, though I have to change things a bit because I am running across two reporting servers. The MAINTAIN stuff is out of the books and from previous successes.

Any help you can provide . . .

You are using:
...WFServlet?IBIF_cmd=MNTCON%20EX%20Site_Record_Editor&IBIS_passthru=on&IBIS_connect=on&IBIAPP_app=aidsmaintenance&SITE_NUMBER=0009&IBIC_server=MAINTAIN

with SITE_NUMBER as a parameter but using:
SITER/A10 = IWC.GetAppCgiValue("SITENAME");

Use SITE_NUMBER in the GetAppCgiValue. Should work every time.
