RE: [WEB400] FW: QtmhCvtDb trouble

["Bob Cozzi" <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've heard of this bug. The best thing to do if you want to continue to
use CvtDb is to make sure you set on *INLR before the CGI program ends.

The best thing you can do if you want it to work in the future, is to us
QzhbCgiParse and get he fields one at a time.
Mel Beckman's zhbGetVar (in CGIDEV2) wraps QzhbCgiParse so that normal
humans can actually use it. It's the only thing I use nowadays. I used
the be in love with CvtDb, but there's too many issues with it to make
it worth the effort anymore.
