Re: IWS, REST and retrieving variables from QUERY_STRING

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

As mentioned in your first thread...

It's passed by IWS as an environment variable..

The Request Information tab of the properties panel (shown in Figure 60 on
page 99) allows you to
display the transport and request information that is to be passed to the
web service implementation
code. You can update, remove, and modify the information that is to be
passed to the program object. The
information is passed to the program object in environment variables.


Page 98 of the IWS Server Admin & Programming guide
ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/systems/support/i/iws/systems_i_software_iws_pdf_WebServicesServer_new.pdf

Simply use the Get Environment Variable (QtmhGetEnv) API to retrieve it..
