Thank you. As I said old function - new words. How is this different in RPG
then handling any other data transmission.

Synopsis from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOAP :

SOAP is a protocol for exchanging XML-based messages over a computer
network, normally using HTTP. SOAP forms the foundation layer of the web
services stack, providing a basic messaging framework that more abstract
layers can build on. SOAP facilitates the Service-Oriented architectural
pattern.

There are several different types of messaging patterns in SOAP, but by
far the most common is the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) pattern, where
one network node (the client) sends a request message to another node
(the server), and the server immediately sends a response message to the
client.
