[open-cobol-list] HP Cobol intrinsics

[Robert Keane]

I have come across an HP Cobol program along with a little documentation 
about the process to make a Cobol program operate as a CGI program.

The following is a quote from the docs:
"The two main "tricks" used are (a) to call the READX and PRINT 
intrinsics for accessing the stdin and stdout socket or pipe and (b) to 
call a few subroutines from the Posix C library to read some important 
Posix environmemt variables preset by the httpd parent process."

The READX and PRINT intrinsics operate, according to the doc, like 
ACCEPT and DISPLAY but do not (re)open the $stdin and $stdout and 
therefor break the setup prepared by the parent httpd process.

The C library calls are to "getenv", "strlen" and "strncpy".

My question is, does OC have anything like the HP intrinsics READX and 
PRINT?
