Re: Bundling CGIDEV2 - how much should be brought along?

As a person who has maintained an RPG/CGI program with raw HTML for several years now, CGIDEV2 is a dream. Externalizing the HTML is just like using external DSPFs. The concept of the substitution variables, or tags, is similar to what I've seen others use in Java and other environments.

Now on to finding real help on distributing an app that uses CGIDEV2.

I do not use it.

I had to write an RPG/CGI program a couple of months ago as part of an
example for a presentation I did on IBM I mobile development...and it took
me longer to remember how to write an RPG/CGI program than it did to write
the mobile app.

Except for this one recently, I don't think I've written an RPG/CGI program
in more than 10 years.

So no one here uses it? It's for the web - this group is about the web -
where's the problem?

I went to the place I know best first - did a search at easy400 and didn't
find much easily.

I'm converting one of our apps to use CGIDEV2 - a dream to use, by the

way. I love externalizing the HTML, just like DSPF DDS.

I DO preach to the choir, don't I?

There are some things that seem to be expected. I've dug about a bit, but

there doesn't seem to be much clear documentation about bundling this
service program and its attendant objects, like the CGIDEBUG file and data
area - whose absence is tolerated, but who wants to clutter up the job log
with those extra messages?

I see references to a data area for automatically setting the job to its

default CCSID, under certain conditions. Again, is it needed?

The command to build the thing into a different library - well, the result

seems to be everything - tutorials, all that. Which we do not want to
include in the product distribution.

Thanks for any help!
