Bernd, I certainly hope that you have your answer by now, but I did
not come across it in the "mound" of SAS-L postings that I just waded
through... (having just returned from a very pleasant 2-week hiatus).
I have written a SAS/IntrNet application that *DOES* write HTML out to
_WEBOUT. Your code looks fine, except that it is missing the
following PUT statement.
put 'Content-type: text/html';
The PUT statement, above, should preceed your other PUT statements.
Here is an entire example, of mine, for the sake of completeness:
put 'Content-type: text/html';
put;
put '<HTML><HEAD>';
put '<TITLE>DATE INPUT ERROR</TITLE>';
put '</HEAD><BODY>';
put '<H1>ERROR!</H1>';
put '<p>';
put '<H2>Your <I>FROM</I> date must be less than
your<I>TO</I>date!</H2>';
put '<p>';
put '<H2>You chose the following values:</H2>';
put '<p>';
put "<H2>fromdate= &fromdate</H2>";
put '<p>';
put "<H2> todate= &todate</H2>";
put '<p>';
put '<H3>Please click on BACK, correct the date range, and try
again!</H3>';
put '<p>';
put '</BODY></HTML>';
Bernd, you were close to the summit on this one. Good luck as you
continue your climb to SAS/IntrNet application success!
I hope that this suggestion proves helpful now, and in the future!
Of course, all of these opinions and insights are my own, and do not
reflect those of my organization or my associates.
