Re: Persistent CGIDEV2 problem

Loyd,

Sorry that I misunderstood.

If I understand CGI correctly (and I still have quite a bit to learn), the
CGI programs run in a batch mode and are not counted as interactive - i.e.
5250.  Therefore, if I overcome my problems with activation groups, the
program MAIN will be running as a never ending program, as will RPP, and
this will have been possible with only minimal coding changes.  I just hope
that I can solve the problem this way.

Many thanks again,

Rob
