3.6 Calling a LANSA Function Directly

You can execute a LANSA function directly using the following parameters in your call to the LANSAWEB/LANSAXML program.

   PROCFUN+<process_name>+<function_name>+<partition>+<language>

where:

PROCFUN (can be in lower-case) is the keyword instruction to LANSA for the Web to execute a LANSA function directly;

<process_name> is the name of the LANSA process containing the function;

<function_name> is the name of the LANSA function you want to execute;

<partition> is the LANSA partition. This parameter is optional. If this parameter is not specified, the default LANSA partition will be used;

<language> is the partition language you wish to use. This parameter is also optional. If a partition language is not specified, the default partition language will be used.

If you use the language parameter, the <partition> parameter must also be specified, otherwise, the <language> parameter will be interpreted as the <partition> parameter.

Note that each parameter is delimited by the plus (+) character as in this example:

   http://<web_server>/cgi-bin/lansaweb?procfun+<process_name>+<function_name>+<partition>

 

As an example, to create a link to a web system showing LANSA's web-enabled Personnel Demonstration, which shows a 5250 (green screen) application, your URL might appear as follows:

   http://<web_server>/cgi-bin/lansaweb?procfun+pslsys+enrol+<partition>

 

To create a link to the same Personnel Demonstration using the process specifically designed as a WEB interface, your URL might appear like this:

   http://<web_server>/cgi-bin/lansaweb?procfun+lansadem+ldem+<partition>
