Re: Blast from the past

PATH_INFO must be set. For example:

PATH_INFO=/macro-file/html-section


Its pretty easy to play around with it from QShell. Simply set
environment variables via:

export -s PATH_INFO=/macro-file/html-section


and then call Net.Data:

system 'call qhttpsvr/db2www'

If you want to pickup the INI file, you will need to cd to the library
where the INI file resides before calling the program.

Years ago I wrote a CL program that would allow me to call the
DB2WWW (net.data) program and execute a macro. I used this a lot for
emailing from batch jobs ran on the system. There used to be a
sample of this program on the internet but I have not found it. I
think there were a couple of environment variables changed or passed
when DB2WWW was called. QUERY_STRING I know was one of them and the
other I thought was PATH. I have yet to get it to work.

Does anyone remember net.data or have a sample of this code?

I do know there is an API for this but the @DTW_SENDMAIL function is
just to easy not to use.
