Apache will not allow the process to write to any directory above /APACHE/PUB/htdocs, and rightly so. However, it appears that the callci posix command needs to build a temporary file and it uses the users home group as part of the filename. We proved this by changing the home group for WWW.APACHE from PUB to TEMP. The error then show a redirection to filename.TEMP.APACHE. Just for giggles we then changed the user for the job stream and the Apache user to MANAGER.SYS and the directory callci was redirecting to became filename.PUB.SYS.

This isn't a theological issue with me. As it occurs, the more we've
programmed in Windows, the more I've really gotten to like it and the more
impressed I am with it.
Nonetheless, if we were to make QueryCalc into a full-blown desktop
publishing/graphics/spreadsheet/query language program for the HP3000 (and it
would only be for the HP3000), it would have to add significant value to any
alternative that now exists or it simply wouldn't be worth doing.
I can see that advantage accruing in only two places: (i) the extremely easy
integration of data coming out of existing IMAGE databases (examples: college
transcripts, complex personal letters, marketing material, etc.) and (ii)
large-scale printing operations, where automatability counts for a great deal
(examples: manuals, price books, etc.). Our customers tend to use QueryCalc
primarily for the first, but we (and a few others) use what printing
capabilities that currently exist in QueryCalc primarily for the second
reason.
