Thanks, Walden. I found that same answer on the Easy400group message
board. I did exactly what you said and it worked like a charm.

Thanks again,

The problem is that cmd.exe sees the ampersand as a command
separator and therefore sees that as two commands. To see
what I mean bring up a "dos-box" on your pc and type
"dir&cls" (without the quotes) and you'll run 2 commands,
first the dir command and then a clear screen command.

You can tell cmd.exe to ignore the ampersand by prefixing it
with a carrot. If you type "dir^&cls" you'll see that the
carrot is gone, but it can't find a program called "dir&cls"

So, in your CL, you want:

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

(Note the carrot before the &qstrat_rfq...)

Subject: [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,
