Re: Passing Parms to CGI From CL.

I found the answer on another board. It appears that the & is treated as
a special character and needs to be "escaped" using the carat (^). Once
I changed '&qstrat_rfq=' to '^&qstrat_rfq=', my parms started to show
up. I am still going to look into rundll32 option, though.

Thanks to all who replied.

Look thru the archives. Scott Klement has answered this in
the past. I
know he has a good article about this (not sure where the
URL is at the
moment).

In my code I have CHGVAR VAR(&CMD) VALUE('rundll32
url,FileProtocolHandler' *BCAT &URL *TCAT '?CODE=' *TCAT &code)

I know I'm only sending one parameter and not 2, but Using
rundll32 was a
way to handle more than one parameter. I also remember the
case had to be
left as listed for "rundll32 url,FileProtocolHandler".

[WEB400] Passing Parms to CGI From CL.






Greetings List,
I hope all of you had a merry Christmas and have a happy and
prosperous
new year.

Here is what I am trying to do. I have a CGIDEV2 program that adds
footnotes to an RFQ. Since several divisions will be using
this program, I
need to send the division name as well as the RFQ number to the CGI
program.

I have the following commands in my CL program:

CHGVAR VAR(&PCCOMMAND) VALUE('START
http://xx.xx.xxx.xx:8014/citcgidevp/GETDIV2?division=' *TCAT
&DIVISION
*TCAT '&qstrat_rfq=' *TCAT &QLMRFQ#)

STRPCCMD PCCMD(&PCCOMMAND) PAUSE(*NO)

I can get this to work if I key it into the command line of
the browser
but not when I call it from the CL. Can some one tell me
what I am doing
wrong? I saw an older post somewhere that said that the
START command was
limited to 123 characters. Is that correct and if so, how do you get
around this limitation?


Thanks,
