Exercise 5.6: Defining the output page content

Before you begin, you must complete Exercise 5.5: Defining the input page content.

Note:
If you chose to work with a service program (GETDATAS) then you will see the output parameters begin with the name CUST1. All the screen shots for the remaining exercises show the parameters for the GETDATA program.

Now you can specify what data should be displayed on the output Web page generated for you. In the right pane of the wizard you see a sample of the page that will be generated. First, change the Input style of the output parameter CSTRUC.CUSTNO. This will enable you to use customer number as an input parameter to future features of your Web project.

To define the output page:
Output parameter

  1. Select CSTRUC.CUSTNO.
  2. Click the Fields tab.
  3. From the Input Style list, select Text Entry.

    By default all output parameters will be added to the Web page, but you don't want the data in the FEEDBACK parameter to be displayed.

    Let's go through the steps to erase the FEEDBACK parameter from the output page.
    The output parameter

  4. In the left pane of the Design the Result Form, clear the FEEDBACK check box.

    This will remove it from the Web page.

    You will stay on this page to specify the error handling.

You have specified what data to show on the output page and now you are ready to begin Exercise 5.7: Specifying error handling.
