IS the program in the right library? Are you making changes to a program
that you aren't actually calling? Are there two copies of the program object
out there? When you recompile is it going into the CGI library?
Taking out /$amtop will work (but is unrelated to your problem). Just callp
WrtSection('noname') instead of WrtSection('amtop').

Bob,
sorry, I've got all the /copy members in the program...also, no messages
in qsysopr or in the job log for the HTTP server - cgi instance...
I also tried taking out the /$amtop section of the web page...that didn't
work either...i dont think my problem is in displaying the web page, but
in getting the Submit button to work...I have the same type of web pages
(submit button with a cgi program as the form action) all over the
place...i just dont know why this one refuses to work on a method="get"...

I stopped using CGIDEV2 early last year... RPG xTools CGILIB is compatible
with the HTML for CGIDEV2 so I ported it and don't have these kinds of
issues. So I don't think I can help, perhaps Mel (the author of CGIDEV2
could shed some light, but it is probable just a coding error.
Maybe look at the CGI program... does it have all the CGIDEV2 /COPY
members
specified correctly in the Calc specs? I know that was one of the reasons
I
abandoned CGIDEV2.
Also, are there any messages in the QSYSOPR message queue? Are you using
Apache? Are there any messages in the CGI job for that instance that might
offer a clue? I find these two things tend to help. Also, if there are no
messages, then you're obviously looking in the wrong place for the
problem,
so that's also helpful.
One more thing,
You might want to get rid of that /$amtop section identifier. It is too
confusing to PC-based HTML editing tools and not widely used anymore. In
CGILIB you can write out the virtual top section of your HTML by calling
cgiWrtSection('*TOP'), in CGIDEV2, I believe you call WrtSection('noname')
to get similar results.

Bob,
I'm using CGIDEV2...using the zhb procedures to retrieve values from the
web page...so, I can only use those procedures with method="get" right?...
also, I have no <Limit GET> or <Limit POST> directives in my HTTP server
config...so, i don't know why my method="get" isn't working...
Brad,
"rendering it useless" = when i hit the button, my program doesn't get
called or anything...it just sits there and laughs at me...
here's my source for the web page:

;
nW.focus();
nW = null;
}

return false;
}

}
}
}

var ValidChars = "0123456789.";
var IsNumber = true;
var Char;
for (i = 0; i < sText.length && IsNumber == true; i++) {

Re: [WEB400] get vs post...
What do you mean by "redering it useless"? That could mean
the button doesn't do anything, or it calls your CGI
program but errors, etc.
It could be an issue with your HTML form or how your CGI
app is handling the request.
