Hi Guys,

   I have implemented the following..


       IF RemoteParamByName('Module') = NIL THEN
         RemoteParams.CreateParam(ftInteger, 'Module');

   My problem is that the "RemoteParamByName('Module')" returns a DBException
with a "DBSession:Parameter 'Module' not found'.

   I know this that is why I am testing for it and if not found, creating it.
'Module' is used elsewhere in the app as well.

   I don't see why I am getting an exception rather than simply returning Nil.

   Thoughts??

Regards,

Ian

What you want is the RemoteParams.FindParam method:

Hi Tim,

   OK, I can work with that but I guess the basis for my original question still
stands.  The Help documentation says ..." If there are no parameters with that
name, the RemoteParamByName method will return nil."  Is that not correct?

   Quick follow up question - are the parameters persistant for the life of the
Session?

Regards & thanks again,

Ian

No, it is not correct.  I will make sure that it is corrected.
