[HECnet] OT: CGI parameters in CSWS?

Doh. I stupidly did SHOW SYMBOL *.   Oh well, live and learn.

Try SHOW SYMBOL/ALL instead. :-)

Erm, no I wasn't - this is all new to me, much like Classical Arabic grammar :)
I managed to get enough pages out of the "Writing Real Programs in DCL" on Google Books to make it work though.

You are aware that there are more tables than just the LOCAL and SYSTEM
tables, do you?

Turns out that they were defined after all, but just now shown by the SHOW SYMBOL commands. Oh well. It works.

Sampsa,
I would take a look at logicals.   They may actually be using them instead.   Most of my scripts use logicals so that it doesn't matter where the script is run from.

Sorry about the less-than-entirely-relevant question, feel free to ignore, but I am confused, yet again.

I'm trying to write a quick script to search a file and output the results, in HTML, over HTTP, so I've decided to use a small DCL script with the CSWS web server on OpenVMS 8.3. I can't figure out where CSWS sticks the CGI parameters however, the book says they're meant to be defined as symbols, but this is what my script sees:

SHOW SYMBOL/LOCAL *
P1 = ""
P2 = ""
P3 = ""
P4 = ""
P5 = ""
P6 = ""
P7 = ""
P8 = ""
SHOW SYMBOL/GLOBAL *
$FACILITY == "%X00000001"
$IDENT == "%X00000000"
$RESTART == "FALSE"
$SEVERITY == "1"
$STATUS == "%X00010001"
APACHE$DCL_BIN == "$ APACHE$COMMON:[000000]APACHE$DCL_BIN.EXE"
APACHE$DCL_CMD == "@APACHE$COMMON:[CGI-BIN.FIDONODES]FINDNODE.COM"
APACHE$DCL_ENV == "$ APACHE$COMMON:[000000]APACHE$DCL_ENV.EXE"
APACHE$DCL_RUN == "$ APACHE$COMMON:[000000]APACHE$DCL_RUN.EXE"
APACHE$FLIP_CCL == "$ APACHE$COMMON:[000000]APACHE$SET_CCL.EXE"
APACHE$SET_CCL == "$ APACHE$COMMON:[000000]APACHE$SET_CCL.EXE"
HTTPD == "$ APACHE$COMMON:[000000]APACHE$HTTPD.EXE"
PHP == "$ PHP_ROOT:[BIN]PHP.EXE"
SAY == "WRITE SYS$OUTPUT"

Where did QUERYSTRING etc go?
Here's the script ( http://rhesus.sampsa.com/cgi-bin/fidonodes/findnode.com?q=foo ) :

$ write sys$output "content-type: text/html"
$ write sys$output ""
$ write sys$output "<html><hr /><pre>"
$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT "SHOW SYMBOL/LOCAL *"
$ show symbol/local *
$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT "SHOW SYMBOL/GLOBAL *"
$ show symbol/global *
