Stumped By Simple Task
Hi Scott
Thank you for the reply. It's just what I'm looking for.
At this point, I would like give a helpful hint to any future poster
.... Look in libhttp/qrpglesrc for examples using HTTPAPI.
I found this source code this morning and I'm working through
them. Scott already anticipated the questions and provided the answers
too!
