The SAS/C Common Gateway Interface (CGI)

Implement CGI Applications with SAS/C

Web Application Development Demonstrated by a SAS/C Common Gateway Interface (CGI) Application

The explosive growth of Internet client/server applications has resulted in significant enhancements to OS/390 to include an IBM HTTP Server, WebSphere for OS/390

SAS/C application programmers may take advantage of services provided by the OS/390 Web Server to Web Enable existing applications or implement new applications. The CGI API is typically used as the interface between web clients and applications which present web pages. The compliance of SAS/C with the POSIX 1003.1 standard allows the porting of existing CGI programs to the OS/390 environment. To facilitate the implementation of CGI programs with SAS/C, developers may download a package which contains a sample CGI program. This package, sasc-cgi.tar also includes sample web pages, sample scripts to build a program and sample CGI ANSI C functions to parse, manipulate and generate HTML for web clients. The README file contained in the package lists the steps required to build the program.
