Hi Gad,

Unfortunately, the sample web service that they picked as a demonstration (the CurrencyConvertor at www.webservicex.net) has been down, returning -1.

It does not matter if you call it with the IBM IWS client, HTTPAPI, SQL or GetURI -- it's the web services server that is down, the problem isn't on your side or with what you're calling it with. The problem is the demo web service.

You'll need to find a different currency converter to use.

That one was just a demo, anyway -- it was not meant to be used in production.

Hello guys

Ran into an old article by Mike Faust dealing with consuming a Currency
converter
Web service
http://www.mcpressonline.com/rpg/cool-things-ile-rpg
-as-a-web-services-client.html
I followed the article and created the A/M utility
(with some difficulty- had to re-installed the C compiler)

I does run but it returns a value of -1 which I assume indicates some error.
For some reason or other I'm not able to debug the C part of it , only the
RPG part
(I admit to being close to a complete C ignorant anyway)

Is anybody familiar with this Web service? I surly could use some pointers.

Alternately, could you point me to another Currency conversion Web server?
