Thanx for that, it all looks quite simple really. Is it the same effect if I have a form with elements like: <input name="cstRec.Surname:record"> If the form posts to a python script, can I then pass cstRec to a ZSQL method, after validation etc ? Should Surname then be available as a dtml-sqlvar ? -- Les Ferguson Software developer Waitakere, NZ Roché Compaan wrote:
If a ZSQL method has "one", "two" and "three" as arguments it can be called (a) with a single mapping object:
d = {'one': 1, 'two': 2, 'three': 3'} some_zsql_method(d)
NOTE: this is the same as calling the method with the REQUEST
some_zsql_method(REQUEST)
(b) or with keyword arguments:
some_zsql_method(one=one, two=two, three=three)
(c) or with no arguments in which case the method will try to acquire the values for all arguments:
some_zsql_method()
