Parameters:
pcName CHARACTER
The Cookie Name, must be specified
pcValue CHARACTER
The Cookie Value, can be blank which is typically used when deleting a cookie
pdDate DATE
Expires date is an optional parameter expression evaluating to a DATE data type. This is used to set an expiration time on a cookie. For instance, TODAY + 1 = tomorrow; TODAY + 365 = same day next year; TODAY - 1 = yesterday. If the cookie should only persist for the duration of the browser session, specify ?
piTime INTEGER
Expires time is an optional parameter expression evaluating to an INTEGER data type to the number of seconds since midnight. This is only meaningful if an expression other than ? is specified for the Expires date. The expression can be a very large or small number (greater or less than the number of seconds in a day) which will be normalized to fit within a day. In this case, the Expires date will be incremented or decremented as appropriate. Specifying small numbers into the future e.g. TIME + 5 * 60 (five minutes from now) may not expire when desired due to differences in the clock of the user's machine running the browser vs. the clock of the machine running the application. Specify ? if setting an expiration time is not desired.
pcPath CHARACTER
Path is the URL path below which the Cookie will be sent. If ? is specified, the default is the value of the AppURL global variable unless the Cookie Path configuration option is set in which case it will be used instead. which is the URL common to all programs within an application. To delete a cookie, this value must be the same as it was when the cookie was set.
pcDomain CHARACTER
Domain is an optional parameter with the internet domain, i.e. ".progress.com". If ? is specified, the domain will be the current host or if specified, the value of the Cookie Domain configuration option. To delete a cookie, this value must be the same as it was when the cookie was set.
pcOptions CHARACTER
Comma-delimited options: "SECURE" - If specified, the web browser will only send the Cookie back when on a secure (SSL) connection (using https). "UTC" - Assume date and time are UTC based elimitating any conversion that would otherwise be required from local time to UTC time. "LOCAL" - (Default) Assume date and time are based on local time and need conversion to UTC. The "SECURE" option can be combined with either the "UTC" or "LOCAL" options, i.e. "SECURE,UTC".
