I have a Z SQL Method which returns one row and I want to use the data from
it in a form (I am going to detault the input fields with the values from
the SQL). I thought using the dtml-in tag would be a simple way of doing
this but am having problems passing the method the parameter. In the code
below the line
Edit Video <dtml-var pCode>
renders pCode into the page but the line
<dtml-in expr="getVideoSQL(pCode)">
generates a runtime error saying pCode not found.
Can anyone advise me as to what I ma doing wrong?
Regards,
