RE: CGI programs in ILE RPG

["York, Albert" <albert.york@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I use a source file (QHTMLSRC) with named place holders (%CUSNAME%). 

I created a subroutine which writes the HTML. It accepts the source file
name, member name, and pairs of place holders and the corresponding
data. For example: 
                CALL  'SNDHTML'
                PARM   'QHTMLSRC'
                PARM 'CUSTHTML'
                PARM '%CUSNAME'
                PARM CustName
                PARM '%ADDRESS%'
                PARM Custname
                          .
                          .
                         .
