Re: problems with CGIDEV2 zgbgetvarupper

Check the source for the page, the value is likely to be the one sent by the program in the previous request. The javascript must store there the value "pageup" before submiting the form.

Raul,
Thanks for the info. I think if I understand correctly, I am doing that.
I have a section in my form like this.

<input type=hidden name="Irequest" value="/%Orequest%/">

The javascript variables do not get passed to the RPG, you need to put the value in an input field or in the URL that calls the rpg program.

I am trying my first meaningful program with CGIDEV2.
I have it populating the first screen of the HTML, but I cannot get the response from the pageup or pagedown button to show up in my program.

I'm basing my program loosely on a sample I found from a few years ago.
The buttons are defined as SUBMITs and call a little javascript to determine if pageup/pagedown or refresh is pressed.

I can see that it is hitting the java script and the value of field Irequest is populated with 'Pageup'

But when I get back into my program and execute

Irequest = zhbgetvarupper('Irequest') ;

The result always comes back blank and I'm at a loss as what to look for.

Thanks

Mike


Ps, I'll probably have more questions as I work through this program.
