Kelly,

QtmhRdStin only works when you do a POST. When you do a GET (which is what a hyperlink does), an environment variable called QUERY_STRING gets set. API QzhbCgiParse is a little easier to deal with (at least once you come up with a wrapper procedure for it) since it can be used for both GET and POST.

Brad,

I didn't think of the hyperlink option, thanks. I've been playing around
with it, the code looks like:

<a href="/cgi-bin/boitem.pgm?cdcust=1234567">1234567</a>

The boitem program kicks off, but the customer number doesn't seem to be
passed. The QtmhRdStin API returns blanks. I suspect I'm missing something
in order to receive the custom number in the boitem program.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for all the help.

Kelley

Shouldn't need JavaScript, just a hyperlink on the customer number. Have
it
sent the customer number to another CGI program that displays the more
detailed information.

The link for the customer number would look something like this:

<a href="/cgi-bin/custdet?cust=1010111">1010111</a>

This will pass the customer number to the next program (in this case I
called it custdet) which you read in and use to display the detailed
information, just like you did for the first program.

If you're looking for more CGI information, I've writen a few books and
training manuals you can see at www.bvstools.com/erpg/
