Re: [IBMiOSS] RPG parameters to Python and back

I guess I was able to say it in one short post 😊

Also less layers. No data queue or iToolkit plumbing or polling which is what it sounded like you were advocating. Synchronous real-time.

STDOUT sends feedback directly to an IFS or OUTFILE which the RPG app can simply read immediately once the Python call completes.

Without seeing a code sample or succinct step by step from you it's hard to tell, but I think we're generally probably in the same neighborhood.

Here is the approach which works quite well for me and it's synchronous as well:

1. RPG - call CL program or CL program wrapped with CL command with parms to Run Python code.
2. Python code outputs return info via STDOUT console output to database/IFS file or to a predetermined database file location.
3. Read resulting return values from the STDOUT file location from the RPG app.
4. Repeat.

How is this any different than what I've been saying (in all three of
my previous posts in this thread), other than mentioning stdout
specifically?
