Re: Mixing GET and POST Methods

Wow, this 'discussion' is getting quite deep.  Why don't we sum it up and move on to using this list for 'helpful' discussions. 

 

Before we do however, allow me to throw in my 2 cents...

 

 I too started off with Brad's book and found it a very helpful introduction into CGI using RPG but I too ran into problems when I wanted to pass variables from one interaction to another.  I emailed Brad and he promptly answered my email and we spent about a week in email conversation as he tried to help me out.  Then I stumbed on CGIDEV2 and discovered that many of my questions were answered in the sample programs.  I also discovered that CGIDEV2 took out much of the busy work Brad discusses in his book such as calling the parsing APIs.

 

Bottom line for me is that Brad's book is an excellent introduction to CGI development using RPG while CGIDEV2 and it's service program is the conduit to make it happen fast and furious.  We've had incredible success using CGIDEV2.  Our biggest challange now is coming up with the HTML and graphics to produce the web pages we want...the RPG behind it is simply plain old RPG.
