For all you PH Web users (all 2 of you)

[Deskin, Bob]

This may be a Web Server issue. I know that with Netscape Communicator
we had some issues regarding transmission size. The solution was to move
to the Netscape FastTrack Web server.

OpenVMS 7.3-2, Alpha, PH840d.  Not sure of the web server version, but
think it's up to date.

Getting lots of response to this, thnx everyone.

First off, there are more than 2 :-)

What's the platform, version, and the Web Server? These could make a
difference. I seem to recall issues on OpenVMS. If that's your platform,
check the release notes.

PH Web will send back whatever's being displayed. It's very similar to
QUICK. If you're seeing things displayed, then I gather you're doing a
change of some sort and PH Web will show the changed data by default.
One way to avoid this is to go to another page via DEFER LINKPAGE. You
could set this up in your POSTUPDATE such that the DEFER LINKPAGE
re-retrieves the data, if that's what you want, or just re-loads the
same page by empty. If there's a DEFER LINKPAGE active when PH Web is
formatting the results page, it will send the DEFER LINKPAGE request
instead. So the large amount of data will never be sent thus avoiding
the problem.

We are attempting to write a PH web screen which prompts for
confirmation of an order.  This confirmation screen is passed a variable
number of orders
and displays them.  (# of items and description)   Upon a submit, the
system
will accept up to 10 orders before crashing with a "internal server
error". It appears as if the page is sending back ALL of the displayed
items, including a large description field. 
The question is, how do we stop the description field from being sent
back? Adding a "display" clause to the PH field statement does not stop
the behaviour.  It appears as is we are hitting a limit as to the
informatrion being sent to the server.

cheers
