Re: Stone says he can write entire RSDC app in one night -- WEB400

Now there would be a cool exercise of a language: See if REXX can doing CGI
programming!

Looks as though REXX somewhat participates in ILE based on page 175 in the
REXX programmers guide:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r3/topic/books/sc415728.pdf

Unfortunately I don't know enough about REXX data types to appropriately
build a sample CGI application. Also, REXX is interpreted so I am unsure
how Apache would forward a request to it as my knowledge ends at Apache
invoking a .pgm object.

Thank you sir,

Yes, sorry I assumed you were familiar with CGIDEV2.

It's a package that wraps the CGI APIs making them super simple to use. It
uses a template system which could be compared to record formats (ie, write
a heading, loop through records and write detail lines, write a footer)
etc...

Since it's ILE you call the procedures with any ILE language.

If you want more info, feel free to contact me offline. I can show you
much
simpler examples and how it works.

I appreciate good work. Is the CGIDEV2 called from RPG or what?

Thanks,

Dave

Hi, Dave. Appreciate you taking the time to look.

They both use CGIDEV2. :)

Bradly,

Beautiful work. What code did you say you did this in?

Thanks,

Dave

This, by the way, is exactly the reason I've made the challenge.
Because there is a lot of bravado on the list, but very little
substance. Until you prove it, you're blowing smoke.

I'm going to ignore your (as usual) overreading into my posts with your
normal "everyone's out to get me" mentality even though I said
nothing about
you, your kids, and your time together.

Great. You created one application using EGL. Then you
challenge people to
duplicate it? Great, for you it helps your business as a POC.
Pay me, and
I'll duplicate it. If no one has the time, you're probably
right, it can't
be done. If a tree falls in the forest... yaddaa yadda yadda..... I
quickly am reminded why I don't spend as much time on these

lists anymore.

anyhooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Here's one app that I've produced for a customer. Yes, it's

live. So if

you order, you may have to wait for the UPS man.. lol.

https://121307.biz/oe/merchant.html

Here's another Aaron and I did

https://www.spartaninsurance.com/

There are more, but most are internal or require userid/passwords and
contain sensitive data. These have been live for years with

little or no

attention.

Sure, no AJAX, but just because it's there doesn't mean you have
to use it.
Like I said, I've only found a need in one application, and it's only
because the customer wanted something to show up while documents
were being
redacted and displayed online which can take anywhere from 2-15

seconds a

pop.
