Hans,

If those are the types of problems you're going on and on about, they have zero 
to do with any language but rather indicate a lack of understanding of the 
fundamentals of HTML and HTTP on the part of the person who wrote the program. 
As I'm sure we're all aware, it is usually much easier to do something wrong 
than to do it correctly.

OK Brad, I admit it's been a while since I studied CGI-RPG 
programming, so the situation must have improved since then. So now 
please please please tell me that the current version of CGIDEV2 
contains procedures that the RPG programmer can use to avoid those 
particular bugs, and I'll be much happier about RPG programmers 
doing CGI applications. (In case you don't remember, the issues are 
the escaping of text included in an HTML document and the proper 
encoding of special characters in query strings. Certainly not 
rocket science, but can clearly cause problems if not done properly.)
