Re: QtmhRdStin and QzhbCgiParse Limitation

Ya, I figured this limit would catch up to you with your
XML progres..

You do have a couple of options...

1.  Call IBM tech support to see if there are any ideas
there.
2.  Use something like GETURI to retrieve the data instead.
 GETURI can immitate your HTTP request and store as much
data as you want in the IFS or a PF (DASD limited of
course).  

You could roll your own, but would you really want to?  :)
 Especially the SSL portion.  (not saying you need SSL now,
but I bet one day you will if it's sensitive data).
