Getting Started with CGIDEV2

Getting to the web may seem like an insurmountable problem for the traditional RPG programmer. But it is actually easier to write an RPG program to communicate with a web browser as opposed to a 5250 screen!

CGIDEV2 is a FREE tool from IBM that provides subprocedures to process externally defined HTML and "wrappers" for the CGI APIs.

Come to this session for an overview of CGIDEV2 and the main subprocedures, and see how it makes it easy to write RPG programs to:

  • "Print" to the web
  • Provide subfile style selection
  • Perform database maintenance
