Re: Exec cgi command not working

Yes, change it to use include virtual instead of exec CGI. that manual is
getting a little out of date. I think I wrote it for the classic web server
IIRC.

Bradley,
Yes, I am using Apache on V5R4.

Actually this is part of your tutorial, Stone on CGIDEV2 and on
page 9-13 it says:

" Because this SSI requires dynamic information (in this case,
the customer's name), a CGI program is required, which is why
this HTML file is a template file. To embed this constant header
in displays, use the following SSI in your other web pages:
<!--#exec cgi="/cgidev2/header"-->".

Are you saying that I can now use include virtual instead?

Here is what I am trying to accomplish. I have a program that
writes information to a file. I have 12 divisions that will use
this program. I need to change the *LIBL depending on the
division so that the information is written to the correct file
for that division.

In researching this problem, everything I have read says I need
to; hard code the library name, use the QIBM_CGI_LIBRARY_LIST
environment variable or use the exec cgi command to call a
program to set the *libl.
I don't think the first two will work, so that leaves the third.
I thought that if I could get it working in your tutorial, I
could then use the same logic to set the *libl for my program.
But then, like I say, I am very new to CGIDEV2 so if you or
anyone else has any other ideas of how to make this work I would
love to hear them.

Thanks,

Terry,

I assume you're using Apache

<http://archive.midrange.com/web400/200711/msg00029.html> on a fairly
recent version of the Os. If so, I

stopped using Exec directives for CGI a while ago and use include virtual
for all of them now. Try that and see if it helps.
