Mr Mosely is, of course, correct.
But to be clear, this has nothing to do with Net.data itself, but simply the nature of STDIN. While it can be read like any other stream, the read consumes it, as happens with a data queue.
So the first application that reads it, empties it, whether that is PHP, ASP, Net.data, RPG, REXX or an API for example. No matter what application in any language is called subsequently, the cupboard is bare.

I don't think POST data and GET data are retrieved from the same
placewhen doing CGI on the iSeries. Probably not on any web server. ASP
and stuff give you ways to get either, but not the i.

I forget the details, but we check both in our CGI stuff. Net.Data is
just a thin cover over CGI, after all.

I think you have to use QtmhGetEnv with the environment variable name of
'QUERY_STRING' to get the POST data. 'CONTENT_LENGTH' is not relevant
that I know of to POST data.

What is odd about your comments of parent/child is that passing the data
in GET works just fine, but POST
doesn't.

I don't believe the RPG program will run as a child in your current
environment. (If I'm wrong, skip to paragraph 2.) In that case, you
would
need to pass the POST data to the RPG program directly.

If the RPG runs as a child in your current environment: Do you know the
concept of exporting, and can it be applied here? This acts just like a
variable has not been exported. The parent cannot see it, but the
child(ren) cannot.

Before I ask my question, please don't ask WHY I'm using Net.Data. It
is
what it is. :>

Anyway, I have a Net.Data script that is making a DirectCall to an RPG
program.
The call that I am making to the Net.Data script has POST data, and
when I
make the
call to the RPG program, to extract it out, via QtmhRdStin, it seems to
have disappeared.

However, doing a GetEnv for the CONTENT_LENGTH shows that it is in
there,
still. But, yet,
nothing comes out of the QtmhRdStin.
