CATSWeb Session Parameters are variables that are related to the current user, their current activity, or the current state of the CATSWeb system. They may be returned for use as default values via Session Parameter data links, or passed to stored procedures and inserted into URLs in Stored Procedure and URL data links. Many of the available session parameters are listed below, along with examples of how to declare them in stored procedures designed to receive them. The URL Token for the parameter may be specified in URL parameter replacements in a similar manner as the {Field Value} or {Field Name} tokens.
CATSWeb passes parameters to stored procedures by order, not by name. That means you can declare the parameter with any name you wish. The data type should be set properly, however.
