RE: Combining numeric values

I changed the code so that it is using an EVAL statement to write the
record directly to the PF but it still does not show any data.....so I
am wondering if it is in fact passing data or the cgi program receiving
it.....the output to the screen which I am using with a cgiStdout line
is working so the service program seems to be ok from what I can tell at
this point.

I am at a loss on where to go from here Bob.

I am doing that when I get the data from the browser but was using the
MOVE statement to actually place the data in the PF

Did you try what Scott suggested? Is your LASTNAME field longer than
LANME and therefore since you're using MOVE (which is "move right")
you're simply not seeing the data in the LNAME field. Normally would you
would do this:

Eval  LNAME = cgiGetVar('LAST')

Look at you <INPUT> tag in your HTML.
Is the name="LAST" exactly the same as your cgiGetVar('LAST') call? If
not, that's your problem.  These names are case sensitive--A common
problem.
