Start browsing query string data in a URL.
WEB STARTBROWSE QUERYPARM signals the start of a browse of the keyword parameters, consisting of name and value pairs, from a query string in a URL.
For forms, you can also use the WEB STARTBROWSE FORMFIELD command. Forms are messages with the media types application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data.
WEB STARTBROWSE QUERYPARM(name) NAMELENGTH(len)
The
name is a string of text containing the name of the requested keyword
parameter. If a name is not specified, browsing starts at the first
name and value pair in the query string.The standard CICS form of a host code page name consists of the code page number (or more generally CCSID) written using 3 to 5 decimal digits as necessary then padded with trailing spaces to 8 characters. For code page 37, which is fewer than 3 digits, the standard form is 037. CICS now also accepts any decimal number of up to 8 digits (padded with trailing spaces) in the range 1 to 65535 as a code page name, even if it is not in the standard form.
If the code page is not specified, the data is returned in the EBCDIC code page specified by the LOCALCCSID system initialization parameter (which applies to the local CICS region, and has a default of 037), provided that the specified code page is supported by the CICS web interface. The code page is supported if it is one of a list of EBCDIC code pages that are recognized by CICS as being sufficiently standard to allow successful parsing of the web headers (this includes all SBCS CECP and Euro code pages). Otherwise, CICS returns the data in the default EBCDIC code page 037 instead.
