Hey all,

I'm getting an error when I'm trying to access a CGI program.  Here's my 
scenario:  I have an initial CGI RPG program that displays requisitions to 
a user...they click on a link that takes them to another page...on this 
2nd page, I have 2 buttons...one executes a CL program and one takes them 
back to the original page that displays requisitions...here's my 
problem...the user can click on the 2nd button to take them back to the 
first page just fine...if they click on the first button (that calls the 
CL program) it should take them back to the first page once some 
processing is complete.  However when I click on this first button, I get 
a 500 Internal Server Error - Cannot read script output pipe.  So, I check 
out the spool files for QTMHHTTP and see the following inside a spool file 
called QZSRHTTPTR:

sorry for the lengthy post, but I thought that posting the source would be 
a good start...if anyone has any idea as to what I'm doing wrong or if 
it's something wrong with my HTTP server, feel free to let me know...

Thanks in advance...
