xml.XsltTransformer.getParameter

Get the value of a given parameter in an instance of an XSLTTransformer corresponding to the XSLT entry named by param.

Syntax

xml.XsltTransformer.getParameter(
   param STRING)
  RETURNS STRING
  1. param defines the name of the parameter.

Usage

Get parameters corresponding to the XSLT entries named by param.

For example, this XSLT sample contains two param definitions:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >
  
  <xsl:param name="QADIR" />
  <xsl:param name="NODE_NAME"/>
  ... 
  <MyNode><xsl:value-of select="$QADIR" /></MyNode>
  ...
  <xsl:when test="name()=$NODE_NAME">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:when>

</xsl:stylesheet>
To get the parameter QADIR:
DEFINE dir STRING
SET dir=xslt.getParameter("QADIR")

In case of error, the method throws an exception and sets the status variable. Depending on the error, a human-readable description of the problem is available in the sqlca.sqlerrm register. See Error handling in GWS calls (status).
