Re: [WEB400] Library list control and net.data and RPG CGI apps






Hello Nathan,

I thought the SetEnv directive would create an environment variable
that the CGI program could reference, and then possibly run code to
change the job's library list at runtime.

You're right that SetEnv is used to set an environment variable.
However, it's Apache (or, specifically, the i5/OS version of Apache)
that sets the library list.

You do not have to code anything relating to this in your CGI program,
it's done for you by the HTTP server.

But are you saying that the HTTP server uses that directive to
automatically set the job's library list, when a program in
/cgi-test/ewo is called?

Actually, in Shane's example, he used /cgi-test/ewo*, the * is a
wildcard, so any program name in /cgi-test that starts with "ewo" would
get the library list.

But, yes, it's done for you automatically...
