processHtmlString

Process the HTML code contained in a alphanumeric variable replacing items delimited by %% characters by the corresponding COBOL data item.

General format

boolean processHtmlString (string, params)

Syntax rules

1.	string is an alphanumeric data item or literal.

2.	params is a level 01 data item for which the IS IDENTIFIED clause has been used.

General rules

1.	params child variable identifiers are searched in the string text inside the delimiters '%%' (or prefixed by colon, depending on the iscobol.http.value_prefix_colon (boolean) setting).

2.	The method returns true if the operation is successful and false otherwise: in the latter case an error message will be included in the HTML output.

Example

The following COBOL program will display a HTML output whose text is “This output has been generated by isCOBOL”:.
