Responding to the "other possibilities" portion, you might find http://www.cbttape.org/ftp/updates/CBT775.zip interesting. It's the code to go with SHARE presentation 8247 User Experience: Writing a web-enabled CICS/COBOL program.
This is _not_ a method to generate a GUI or HTML from your BMS source or a 3270 datastream. It is a demonstration of an alternative way to respond to user requests via HTTP(S). We use something similar to this code to communicate with a hand-coded Java front end, passing XML back and forth. This is sometimes called POX (Plain Old XML). -----Original Message----- "Graham Hobbs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... > Hello, > Big technical challenge for me so here I am again.
