So far so good. But, again, another of the application's pages is just not working right. Take a look at the sales catalog you were left with! Just a few errors to fix. Bummer.

All we have to fix is the DB2WWW macro file, and test, test, test!

Where are things located for TEAMnn? (nn=your team number)

Description	Value
The URL to your web application	http://internut.rchland.ibm.com/cgi-bin/db2wwwnn/IMVH200.MBR/input
Web application is located on the AS/400	/ITSOICnn/*
You will be fixing links in this HTML file	/ITSOICnn/welcome.htm
You will be fixing DB2WWW web macro statements in file	ITSOICnn/HTML member IMVH200
AS/400 userid and password	ITSOICnn ITSOICnn
The URL to a working example	http://internut.rchland.ibm.com/cgi-bin/db2www/IMVH200.MBR/input

Step-by-Step lab instructions - Part 1 Fix IMVH200.MBR

Start a Telnet (tn5250) session to your AS/400.
Edit IMVH200 in library ITSOICnn file HTML.
- Make the changes as indicated by
```

Question Answer
Question 1: What source member do you need to compile on the AS/400? None. That is what makes DB2WWW so much easier to use that a standard CGI interface. Return to Question 1.
Question 2: What does /QSYS.LIB/QTCP.LIB/DB2WWW.PGM refer to? This is the full path to DB2WWW.PGM, the CGI application that IBM has written for you to parse and interpret the macro file. Return to Question 2.
Question 3: What does /QSYS.LIB/ITSOICnn.LIB/HTML.FILE/* refer to? This is the full path to the DB2WWW macro file. This path is input to the DB2WWW.PGM with the member IMVH200.MBR/input appended on the end of the URL as it comes from the client. Return to Question 3.
