RE: RPG CGI?

Kelley,

Brad's book is pretty good. You can purchase it used on Amazon for a pretty
good savings. You might also check ebay as every once in awhile you see
those books there as well. Assuming you don't want to pay retail prices
because you'd have to buy it yourself, rather than your company paying for
it.

You could probably post a request here for someone who has it but no longer
needs it. They might sell it to you cheap.

On the other hand, if your company will pay for it, then order it from MC
Press new.

Brad,

I didn't think of the hyperlink option, thanks. I've been playing around
with it, the code looks like:

<a href="/cgi-bin/boitem.pgm?cdcust=1234567">1234567</a>

The boitem program kicks off, but the customer number doesn't seem to be
passed. The QtmhRdStin API returns blanks. I suspect I'm missing something
in order to receive the custom number in the boitem program.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for all the help.

Kelley

Shouldn't need JavaScript, just a hyperlink on the customer number. Have
it
sent the customer number to another CGI program that displays the more
detailed information.

The link for the customer number would look something like this:

<a href="/cgi-bin/custdet?cust=1010111">1010111</a>

This will pass the customer number to the next program (in this case I
called it custdet) which you read in and use to display the detailed
information, just like you did for the first program.

If you're looking for more CGI information, I've writen a few books and
training manuals you can see at www.bvstools.com/erpg/
