Sets the protocol to use between the COBOL program and the web server.

entry-name | The entry point name to use in server configuration files, when using the NSAPI protocol |
Default: | WEBSERVER"CGI" |
Phase: | Syntax check |
$SET: | Initial |
When using ISAPI and NSAPI, the COBOL program is executed multiple times simultaneously, so you need to be aware of the multi-threading issues. To take care of most of these issues, compile the program to object code using the CASE and REENTRANT(1,2) Compiler directives.
See the chapter on CGI, ISAPI and NSAPI programs in the CGI-based Applications book.
