Re: IWS, REST and retrieving variables from QUERY_STRING

Hi:
I have a similar situation, but it is in SQL.
I have three SQL statements (Delete,Insert,Load the JSON data Procedures Name)
My URL is:
http://p9-dr:10000/web/services/SQLTEST04_Secure

I need to run those statements in that sequence as Delete, Insert, and Load) using the above URL.
How can I do it?
Thanks

Hi,

You have two options to getting  access to query string variable.  The
recommended way is to inject the query string parameter into a  parameter
automatically.

The alternative way is to pass the entire query string as an environment
variable and within your code you would need to issue a getenv() call and
then parse the query string variable.

Obviously, injecting an input parameter with value of query string
variable is easiest.  And this method allows you to specify a default
value as well if not specified.

Hi All,

I'm creating a REST webservice/api and using IWS.  I'm then using

Postman

to test the webservice.  All the endpoints call procedures in a service
program..

I have an endpoint /web/server/claims which will call the RPG procedure
GetAllClaims which returns all claims.  I have tested  this with Postman
and it works correctly.

My next step is to add a filter.  So I call the same endpoint but this

time

I pass a parameter of whid.  So the endpoint now becomes
/web/server/claims/?whid=93 which will call the RPG procedure

GetAllClaims

but this time I need to extract the parameter passed in the QUERY_STRING

to

return only claims for warehouse 93.

Can someone point me to either documentation or an example of how to
specify and extract from the QUERY_STRING.  I've done a lot of searching

on

Google but I must not be searching on the correct terms because I can't
find anything on QUERY_STRING other than that you may specify it..
