6.2. Input Parameter File

A file with extension “.in” (“fjdclr.in”)resides in the directory C:\INETPUB\SCRIPTS. This file executes first, and passes parameters to the WWWISIS. The full listing of this file is as follows:

ctttype=text/html
cipar=c:\isis\data\clair.cip
tcg=2001
pfxtag=tag
cgi=@fjdclr.cgi

ctttype=text/html

This represents the content type of the text that WWWISIS outputs.

cipar=c:\isis\data\clair.cip

This parameter denotes the location of the “clair.cip”, which is a file giving path names to the database files, the “pft” and “cgi” files. If it is kept in a different directory for example c:\catalog\clair.cip then the parameter would be as follows:

cipar=c:\catalog\clair.cip pfxtag=tag

If this statement is present then the parameters are passed through the “tag” having the number assigned. (ex: “tag6001”). It specifies the prefix to the parameter tags.

Here the value of v6012 is “Search” and v6013 is “Reset”

tcg=2001

This operates when “pfxtag=tagXXXX”(ex: tag6001) is not specified. The sub field ^n of tag 2001 has the name assigned and sub field ^v has the value keyed in the text box, which is passed on to WWISIS

In the above statement the absence of “tagXXXX” statement gets the name “search-query” assigned to v2001^n and the user given search query gets assigned to v2001^v. If the user types in the text box “informat$”, then this search word will be available in v2001^v.
