Re: Stone says he can write entire RSDC app in one night

["Raul A. Jager W." <raul@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I use the Alias to translate Unix/Internet style addresses to AS/400 
style. If you go to http://i5.abc.com.py you will see some "asp" that 
run in the iSeries. :-)  I have always translated to PGM, never tryed 
CMD, but it is likely that it will work fine.

The directives are:  ScriptAlias and ScriptAliasMatch (with parameters)

You can try a directive:  ScriptAlias  /sample  /QSYS.LIB/STRREXPRC.CMD 
SRCMBR(TEST) FILE(...
pointing your browser to  http://myiseries/sample shold run the rexx 
program TEST
You will need to allow acces to /QSYS.LIB, it may be a better idea to 
copy STRREXPRC to your work library.

If a "hello word" rexx program works there, you can use ScriptAliasMatch 
to run different programs and to be able to pass data to them.

In any case, if an application can use StdIn and StdOut and work with environment variables, it should be useable for CGI.
