Re: Is HTML data available to another called program?

I know this works for sure using service programs but I'm not sure what
happens if you just call the second one. One thing you may want to
consider is passing all of the data the second program needs to it
instead of having it get that information from the request. This will
let you use that program for other things down the road without having
it tied to the web server.

Subject: [WEB400] Is HTML data available to another called program?

Hello,

I would like to write a program to perform some code that will be common
among several other programs.

This is what I would like to do.  I would have a CGI program that
handles
the writing and reading of the HTML page.  I would like this CGI program
call another program to execute the common code.  This second program
would
retrieve some values from the HTML stream using ZHBGETVAR.  The second
program would return a result to the calling program.

In a nut shell, will the second program be able to get at the HTML data?

Thanks
