RE: Dynamically Program Parameter Lookup in Java?

Are you looking to dynamically compose the parm list at runtime or just
generate the necessary java toolkit code at project build time to save on
programming?

I would have to imagine there is a system table the contains all of this
information just like the systables for SQL entity definitions (similar to
what you are mentioning with JDBC).  Here is what I am talking about
concerning the systables for sql: http://tinyurl.com/kjadz.  You would think
there would be system tables that hold similar information for RPG objects
(but maybe not).

DSPMOD gives you a little information (i.e. the exported sub procedure names
of the RPG module) but from what I could see it doesn't give you the parm
list.

A couple more API's that might help:
QBNLMODI
QBNLPGMI
QBNLSPGM

Let us know if you find anything as I have also wondered how to do this for
quite some time.  I am sure it can be done, but hopefully it isn't at the MI
level :-)

Subject: Dynamically Program Parameter Lookup in Java?

Anyone have advice or pointers on the following?

 

I'm looking for a way to dynamically determine a HLL (RPG, CL, etc)
interface in terms of parameter counts and data types.  

 

I want to use this to generate Java code to interface with the iSeries
program dynamically via the toolbox.  Probably generate the SP or use the
program call directly.  

 

For example: JDBC gives you database metadata about files and stored
procedures, how about HLL?

 

Thanks in advance.
