IMS Web provides for a method and apparatus which enables a user to communicate with IMS-based applications using a Web Browser. An input HTML form is used to associate IMS transaction data which is then supplied to a CGI-BIN program which uses IMS Web generated C++ class definitions to determine classes for each logical page. The CGI-BIN program interacts with the IMS database through an TCP/IP OTMA adapter and an output HTML communicates with the Web client.
