A Product of England Technical Services, Inc.

Cobol-CGI makes it simple to integrate your Fujitsu COBOL programs with the Web. This web page is part of a fully functional, and free, copy of Cobol-CGI for Fujitsu COBOL. You have everything you need to put your programs on the Internet right now!

This web page can be used to execute two sample programs that demonstrate the capabilites you need to integrate your COBOL programs with the web. Please feel free to contact us via phone, fax, or e-mail, for assistance in installing this software and executing the sample programs. Initial configuration of your web server and installation of CGI programs is the toughest part of the process and we want you to be successful.

We hope you will take a few minutes and register your copy of Cobol-CGI today by following this link Register Now! or by using the contact information included later in this document. This will allow us to notify you of new releases and additional Web programming products you may be interested in.

If you are serious about Web integration we would like to encourage you to purchase full support for Cobol-CGI. This will allow our engineers to assist you in the many details of CGI development and COBOL programming. Full support for Cobol-CGI is available for just $95 annually.

ETS is continually developing products and technologies to enhance Web programming with COBOL. We are currently offering a product called Cobol-RPC that provides higher-performance CGI support and additional distributed processing capabilities. This product overcomes the architectural limitations of CGI that require your COBOL program to be reloaded every time it is executed. With Cobol-RPC your COBOL program can remain loaded in memory with its files open, waiting for requests. This advantage translates to faster user response and dramatically lowered system overhead.

We hope you enjoy using Cobol-CGI and will be interested in future releases and other products and services our company offers. You can keep updated on what we are doing with Fujitsu COBOL by checking in on ETS's Fujitsu COBOL page. And please don't forget to Register Now!

Accessing Environment Variables

CGI programs have access to a set of environment variables. These environment variables contain information about the web software being used and the way the program was invoked. Clicking this button will run a COBOL program named SHOWENV.CBL that reads and displays the values of the CGI environment variables.

Accessing Form Variables

When most people think of CGI they are thinking of processing forms. To process a form a program must be able to retrieve the values that were entered on the form. Clicking the button attached to this form will run a COBOL program named READFORM.CBL that reads the variables from this form and redisplays them in an HTML table.
