DESCRIPTION
Cq_gqpar returns the name, value, units, and format of the requested query
parameter. Cq_gpar is an integer function  which returns the sequence number
of the query parameter as its function value. Zero is returned if the requested
query parameter is not found.

NOTES
Cq_setcat or cq_setcatn must be called before a query parameter 
request can be made.

The defined constants CQ_SZ_QPNAME, CQ_SZ_QPVALUE, CQ_SZ_QPUNITS, and
CQ_SZ_QPFMTS in the cq.h file can be used to assign values to the
max_qpname, max_qpvalue, max_qpunits, and max_qpformat paramters.
