RE: Web to AS/400 Database connectivity

Bad day. Chris?

In the way I used it, it may not have been 100% correct.  How else would you
phrase it?

I said:
"What CGI language(s) are you using?"

how about:
1.  What language(s) are you using for CGI programming?
2.  What language(s) are you using to dynamically output HTML to the
browser?

Here's the definition from Webopedia:

"Abbreviation of Common Gateway Interface, a specification for transferring
information between a World Wide Web server and a CGI program. A CGI program
is any program designed to accept and return data that conforms to the CGI
specification. "

So, excuse me if I said "language" instead of "program".  I'm sure the
question was not confusing.  Same as when people say "I program in RPG/ILE"
when they really mean "RPG/IV".  We know what their saying, and most of us
don't make a big deal about it.

Peace, brother.
