Strange CGI

["Bruce Jin" <brucej@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can anyone tell why the following is happening?

I have a CGI program called CGIPGM0. When I enter /cgi-bin/CGIPGM0 in a
browser, it outputs a page with a form (method=”POST”) that ask for input.
Let us call this page as Page0. I enter ‘AAAAAAAAAA’ into input field #1 and
‘999999.99’ into input field #2. Then I click submit, CGIPGM1 is called to
process the input from Page0. I put CGIPGM1 in debug mode and I can see that
the input string is:

INPUT01=AAAAAAAAAA&INPUT02=999999099


Now, I save the html source code of  Page0 (generated by CGIPGM0) to IFS
(also tried save to a QSYS source member).  I enter its URL in a browser. I
get EXACTLY the same page, Page0. I fill the input.
I click submit, the same CGIPGM1 is called (we are still in the same debug
session).  BUT I can see that the input string is like this:

INPUT01NAAA-=AAAAAAAAAA%D5AAA-%18%2C3%98&INPUT02NAAA-=
999999%D5AAA-AAA-%18%2C3%98&

API QtmhCvtDB errors out because only INPUT01 and INPUT02 are defined in the
mapping database file used by this API. However the input string says the
input field names are INPUT01NAAA- and INPUT02NAAA-!

Any idea?
