5. Merging the Results of Pick BASIC Into HTML Documents

The MV/Basic code that you embed can calculate results that are then merged into the rest of the HTML page. You perform this merge operation by:

Calculating the desired values and placing them the value into Pick BASIC variables.
In the body of your HTML document, place the variable within the specified insertion characters as in {X}.

The characters that you use around your insertion points are specified in the PicLan-IP/BASIC statement. The { and } characters are just examples here and you can use whatever unique sequences that you wish.

You can also include MV/Basic computations directly within insertion points as in

{{OCONV(X,'MD0,')}

In fact, any MV/Basic expression that produces a printable string is allowed.
