GETURI can do this.

You need to look at the form and pass the data name/data value pairs
and if there is any session states controlled by cookies, pass those
along too.

So basically it goes like this:

1. GETURI to the page with the logon screen
2. Strip out any session cookies
3. Call GETURI again this time with the URI being the value of the
action on the HTML form. Also passing along any name/data pairs and
specifying if it's GET or POST (most likely POST). Also pass along
the cookie information stripped out from step 1.
4. Any subsequent calls using GETURI to other pages (like emulating
clicking on a link, etc) the cookie information would need to be
passed along as well.

Feel free to contact me offline for more help. It's not impossible,
but it can be tricky if you don't understand how things work in the
background.

I'd like to control a webpage from my Iseries.  I have all the data I need
in my application but I need people to go on the customers website to enter
it.

It's a pretty basic website, enter user id and password, click logon, select
some info from a drop down, enter a date, select a radio button, click
continue, click confirm, done.

I've used Geturi before to retrieve data but I don't see how I can fill in
data.  I've tried setting the values in the URL but it doesn't work.

Thanks
