[WEB400] Re: Updating CGIDEV2

[Mel Rothman <mel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

We've tried hard to maintain backward compatibility, including maintaining 
previous service program signatures when a new signature is generated due to 
adding or modifying the exports list.

I think I goofed once when going from version 2001-05-31 17:11:26  to 2001-09-11 
17:00:13.  So if your current version is 2001-09-11 17:00:13 or later, I don't 
believe you will have problems with the service program's new signature.

If run into a signature problem (you probably won't) after upgrading, you can 
rebind any programs experiencing the problem.  After replacing service program 
CGISRVPGM2 in your CGI library, set your current library to your CGI library 
(where your programs and the CGISRVPGM2 service program reside) and run the 
following command:

  UPDPGM PGM(YouCgiLIb/YourCgiPgm) MODULE(*NONE)
