Course Code: ACG2

Description
iSeries (AS/400) CGI Scripting course is a self-paced, audio-cassette drivencourse designed to provide RPG programmers with essential skills for developing WWW- based applications. Using an example Web site scenario, participants will develop Common Gateway Interface scripts that redirect browsers to other Web pages, capture data from Web pages and browsers in AS/400 database files, and generate whole Web pages that include AS/400 data. The course software includes all example RPG, CL, and HTML source code; a collection of reusable subroutines; and a ready-to-go name and address database application.

Upon completion you'll be able to:

Code, compile, test, and debug RPG CGI scripts.
Redirect a Web browser to another URL.
Use input fields, text areas, selection lists, checkboxes, and radio buttons in Web pages.
Retrieve user-supplied data from Web pages.
Retrieve CGI environment variables such as the browser's IP address and host name.
Store retrieved data in AS/400 database files.
Dynamically create Web pages that include AS/400 data with RPG CGI scripts.
