Re: Is it possible to send a call to the CGI program without

Ahh... you'll want to do a web service call with something like our GETURI
software (www.bvstools.com/geturi.html) or Scott Klement's HTTP API.

So, they click, it calls your CGI program. That CGI program does the HTTP
call in the background using GETURI to call the web services.

The results from that HTTP call using such a tool can be used to create the
web screen you'll display to the user, if it was successful or not.

Let me know if this helps. Thanks!

Let me try and clarify this a little more.



Firstly thanks for the comments.



We use a reporting tool on the AS/400 that displays data only. In this
instance, there is a list of programs that need permission to be promoted
into production. The manager will display the list on her screen, iPad or
cell phone and if she approves it, she will select an approve button, which
should then call something like a web service to process the approval. The
button will do a "call" to a CGI program to update the new status. It would
at that point return a confirmation screen from CGIDEV.
