RE: Can we output an HTML form from an e-rpg?

Uh ... outputting "HTML" is EXACTLY what I recently asked about ...

... although the "HTML" will, in fact, be "XML".

Sure, but you'll need to understand how to use one or all of the following
APIs

QtmhGetEnv
QtmhRdStin
QzhbCGIParse

You can build the "HTML subfile" with eRPG.  These fields should be in a
form.  Then, depending on which method you use (ie GET or PUT) you use one
of the above APIs to read the values in the form fields.

I know I didn't include it in my book, but I've found using the QzhbCGIParse
API the easiest of them all.  I have an updated HTTP service program souce
on the www.netshare400.com source samples page (it's labled QZHBCGI) that
has a decent wrapper for this API.
