RE: QtmhCvtDB API question

["Stone, Brad V (TC)" <bvstone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lody,

It's not in the book (will be in the next one), but I would look into the
QzhbCGIParse API.  It works much nicer than RdStin/GetEnv and CvtDB.  You
grab each field from a form one at a time.  If the method is GET, it's as
simple as passing "-value fieldname" into the API.  If it's a POST, then you
can use it to retrieve the data and then put it to query string and then
from there it's the same.

I have a wrapper for it at www.netshare400.com as well.  Works slick and
worth the time to dig into it.
