Yep, I agree. Net.Data is just another CGI program. In my case, Net.Data
will do stpes 1,2,3,5. My question is how to do step 4. I took a quick
look at RPG-XML site, and it may be what I'm looking for. How much does it
cost?

This is something you can't technically do from HTML/Javascript. By
default, and per the spec, you can't make a request to a different server
than what the original request came from. What you CAN do is make a request
from Net.Data while it is being run on the server and then have the results
be displayed on the page.
I do something very similar for one of my customers where they need to make
an XML request from their RPG CGI application to a credit reporting agency.
The basic flow is as follows:
1) User clicks button in browser
2) RPG CGI program recieves in personal information
3) Compose XML request
4) send/recieve XML request/response to/from TransUnion
5) Compose HTML response and send results back to browser

In my case steps 3 and 4 use RPG-XML Suite (www.rpg-xml.com).

I don't think that Net.Data is an issue.....the question is can I do it
from
"ordinary" HTML. I has also thought of using PASE, but how do I access
the
PASE environemnt from the HTML running on the Apache server?
