Re: Using COBOL for CGI Programming

Did you check the authority on QZBHCGI to make sure that QTMHHTP1 can use it?

Subject: [WEB400] Using COBOL for CGI Programming

I've been playing with using COBOL to develop a CGI application, but I
keep hitting a stone wall. I have a simple test program to create a
"Hello World" scenario and by all indications it should be working. But,
when I run it, I get the following joblog entries in the Apache server
job:

The QZHBCGI program is not a *PGM object but rather a *SRVPGM object and
it is, in fact, in the correct library. The program has been successfully
bound with this program reference.

I've searched the archives and Google and see some hints at several things
that this might be, but all attempts to resolve this have failed.

Has anyone successfully created a COBOL CGI program? And, what's your
secret? All I'm doing is issuing a procedure call to the standard output
routine.
