WAM030 - Employee Enquiry
In this step you will create the code for a new WebRoutine that will be used to enter the employee number. The WEB_MAP statement will specify the fields that are passed in and out of the WebRoutine.
1. Immediately following the BEGIN_COM, insert the following RDML code to create WebRoutine named Begin.
Webroutine Name(Begin) Desc('Select Employee')Endroutine
2. This WebRoutine will produce a web page with employee number as an input field. You will add a push button to invoke a second WebRoutine. The Begin WebRoutine will not require any incoming fields. It will have one outgoing field, EMPNO. Add the following WEB_MAP statement to the WebRoutine.
Web_Map For(*output) Fields(#empno)
The EMPNO field will be used to enter the employee number to be retrieved and displayed.
Remember that by default, fields defined on a WEB_MAP statement are input capable.
For further information about the WEB_MAP statement, refer to the LANSA Technical Reference Guide.
Note: you can press F1 on any statement in the LANSA editor to display help directly from the LANSA Technical Reference Guide.
Your completed WebRoutine should appear as follows:
Webroutine Name(Begin) Desc('Select Employee')
Web_Map For(*output) Fields(#empno)
Endroutine
3. Compile your WAM.
