RE: RPG Web Question?

[Andrew Borts <andrewb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can use frontpage for 80% of the HTML editing, then the AS/400 needs to 
have that info in it's craw before it'll work.

What CGI uses is Standard In/Standard Out processing.  So the stream is 
received into RPG using standard IN, and it manipulates the data.  An API 
runs to convert the fields found in the incoming stream into a data 
structure.  The structure is manipulated, and an HTML stream is sent back 
out using the Standard out API on the AS/400.  The initial HTML needs to 
reside on the AS/400 in the IFS, or in a source file of some sort.  When 
the HTTP server fires up, it looks to a welcome file to say "HI - I'm here" 
and from there your conversation with the server begins.  The "Submit 
button" is hit, and that info from the open page inside the browser is 
parsed into the bits the RPG program understands.

Do dis make sense?

If I can do it, anyone can.  Trust me, it's simpler then it sounds.

Subject:        RPG Web Question?

 << File: ATT00011.htm >> Do you need an AS/400 to create RPG web 
applications or can I create the code
using a PC and use something like BIZLAND.COM to upload the application to
and test it?

I'm already creating web's using MS Frontpage but since I know RPG very 
well
I would like to learn how to do it.

Any ideas?

Bill
