getQueryStringParms()

This function parses the current URL's query string and returns it as an object with name/value pairs. The query string is the part of the URL that contains data to be passed to a web application. The getQueryStringParms() API allows us to retrieve the parameters passed to Profound UI.

Example:

The following example tests for the mode parameter on the query string. For example, to run Profound UI in test mode, the URL may look like this: http://ibmi:808/profoundui/start?mode=test

var parms = getQueryStringParms();
if (parms["mode"] == "test") {  // if mode parameter is equal to "test"
  pui.click("btnExit");  // click the exit button
}
