The C$GETCGI routine retrieves CGI variables. This routine is implemented for compatibility with other COBOLs.

                       destItem
                      [valueIndex]
                GIVING returnCode
Parameters:
variableName
PIC X(n) or string literal
Name of the variable.
destItem
PIC X(n)
Value of the variable.
valueIndex
PIC 9(n)
Optional parameter. It contains an index that is used when a CGI variable has multiple values in the CGI input data.
