            ${name} : ${param[name]}

This example demonstrates how this works in a BBJSP servlet

class public MyServlet
    field private BBjspWebRequest request!
    field private BBjspWebResponse response!
    field private BBjspWebSession session!

    method public void service(BBjspServletContext context!)

        #request! = context!.getRequest()
        #response! = context!.getResponse()
        #response!.setContentType("text/html")
        s! = #response!.getOutputStream()

        #session! = #request!.getSession()

        s!.write("<html><body><h1>Hello from BBJSP</h1>")
        vectNames! = #request!.getParameterNames()
        sz = vectNames!.getSize()
        if (sz) then
            for i = 0 to sz-1
                name$ = vectNames!.get(i)
                if (i) then
                    s!.write(",")
                endif
                s!.write(name$)
            next i
        endif
        s!.write("</body></html>")
