ARGUMENT

Declares a value that is available to the parent tag.

Syntax

<ARGUMENT NAME="ARG NAME" 
          VALUE="ARG VALUE"/>

Parameters

NAME (required)

Name of the argument.

VALUE (required)

Value for this argument.

Description

The ARGUMENT tag declares a value that is available to the parent tag. It is used in the context of another tag, and causes a runtime error if it is not contained within a proper parent tag. Depending on the parent tag used, the following are variants of the ARGUMENT tag:

• CGIARGUMENT

• FILEARGUMENT

• TEXTARGUMENT

• FIELDARGUMENT

• INDEXARGUMENT

Note Use <CGIARGUMENT NAME="name"/> to specify that certain CGI parameters be made available to the called module.

errno

The value of errno is unchanged.

Example

The following example uses four ARGUMENT tags to specify name/value pairs to a <CATALOGMANAGER> command:

<CATALOGMANAGER>
   <ARGUMENT NAME="ftcmd"  VALUE="addrow"/>
   <ARGUMENT NAME="tablename" VALUE="HorrorBooks"/>
   <ARGUMENT NAME="title"  VALUE="The Shining"/>
   <ARGUMENT NAME="author" VALUE="Stephen King"/>
</CATALOGMANAGER>
