A couple more things...
1) Try to use uppercase names for the form field names. They are case
sensitive and it is often easier to remember to use all upper case for the
field names than mixed case. Of course a standard of all-lower case is just
as effective.
2) Always quote the parameter arguments for the HTML Tags. So the following
would be "preferred" but not required:
<form method=get action="/cgi-bin/yourname.pgm">
<INPUT type="HIDDEN" name="REQUEST" value="GO">
Enter Your Name
<INPUT type="TEXT" name="YRNAME">
<INPUT type="SUBMIT" value="Enter">
</form>
3) You can avoid the /$start section on the first line of your HTML by
calling cgiWrtSection('noname') instead. You can eliminate the /$start by
calling wrtSection with the pre-defined 'noname' value in Both CGIDEV2 and
CGILIB. This capability gives you more compatibility with FrontPage and
DreamWeaver as well as other HTML editors.
There are few working CGI RPG IV examples at:

There you can run the programs and view the source code behind them.

Ah, you know you've got the "name" form field spelled wrong, right?
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="yrname">
Is not the same as...
name = zhbgetvar('name');

Subject: CGIDEV2 question
I'm playing around with the CGIDEV2. I am trying to write a CGI program. I
was trying to make whole program contained inside one program. So I have a
HTML file that displays the question what is your name. Basically you just
call http://....../cgi-bin/yourname.pgm and it displays the html. But then
I want it to display the results of the variable name if they are not equal
to blanks. But for some reason when I do the name = zhbgetvar('name') and
request = zhbgetvar('request') it always returns blanks. Other examples
that are similar that came with CGIDEV2 seem to work but my example always
returns blanks in both the name field and the request field. I'm even
printing it out to make sure.
Thanks in advance...
