ics:argument

Declares a value that is available to the parent tag.

Syntax

<ics:argument 
      name="argument name" 
      value="argument value"
      condition="true or false"/>

Parameters

name (required)

Name of the argument.

value (required)

Value for this argument.

condition (optional)

If the expression evaluates to true, then the argument will be used. If it evaluates to false, the argument will be ignored. The default value is true.

Description

The ics:argument tag declares a value that is available to the parent tag. It is used in the context of another tag, and causes a runtime error if it is not contained within a proper parent tag. Depending on the parent tag used, the following are variants of the ics:argument tag:

• ics:dateargument

• ics:textargument

• ics:fieldargument

errno

The value of errno is unchanged.

Example

The following example uses four ics:argument tags to specify name/value pairs to an ics:catalogmanager command:

<ics:catalogmanager>
   <ics:argument name="ftcmd"  value="addrow"/>
   <ics:argument name="tablename" value="HorrorBooks"/>
   <ics:argument name="title"  value="The Shining"/>
   <ics:argument name="author" value='<%=ics.GetVar("author")%>' condition='<%=ics.GetVar("author")!=null%>' />
</ics:catalogmanager>
