CGI loses percent sign
We have a web app ( a CGI) written in RPGLE and HTML that prompts for several data fields and writes a record to our web iseries.
When the Comments field contains a percent sign ("%"), the data file ends up without that symbol and the next character is gone, too.
Is there a simple way to fix this ?
Example text ... "test % sign" comes in as "test ign" - 3 less characters.

Answer Wiki:
A percent sign, along with the plus sign and ampersand, are special characters. You need to send them to your page encoded.
