Well... This is not good. I have attached an example and after that, please, tell me what happenned. These examples tell about the following subjects:

- tweb02a.html/tweb02a.cob -> Get values from browser.
- tweb02l.html/tweb02l.cob -> Get cookie values from browser.

This is not the problem. With my examples in hand, try this:

1. Start your webserver. 
   (/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start)
2. put the files tweb02a.html and tweb02l.html in your html directory and pass the necessary permissions.
   (chmod 755 tweb02a.html tweb02l.html)   
   (cp tweb02a.html /home/httpd/html)
   (cp tweb02l.html /home/httpd/html)
3. compile the file tweb02a.cob and tweb02l.cob
   (htcobol tweb02a.cob)
   (htcobol tweb02l.cob)
4. put the binaries tweb02a and tweb02l in your cgi-bin directory and pass    the necessary permission.
   (chmod 755 tweb02a tweb02l)
   (cp tweb02a /home/httpd/cgi-bin)
   (cp tweb02l /home/httpd/cgi-bin)
5. call the file tweb02a.html and tweb02l.html from your browser 
   (lynx http://localhost/tweb02a.html)
   (lynx http://localhost/tweb02l.html)
6. Type some values and click in ok.
7. See the values in browser's output.

Hope this helps.
