Maybe so called "experts" need a little guidance from time to time.  Thanks
for sharing your tip, along with source code.  Your subprocedures (or
equivalent) belong in every Web toolkit.

The community of RPG CGI developers may be facing something of a paradox.
While the iSeries is arguably the best application server on the planet, and
RPG is arguably the best language for business applications, the CGI
interface itself is geared more toward scaled-back applications that get
infrequent use (IMO).  In contrast to the native workstation interface
(green-screens), will we ever see major applications deployed with an ILE
CGI interface?
