That's not how IWS works AT ALL...

The idea behind IWS is that you can write an RPG program, fairly normal, no special XML or anything... then just point IWS at it, and it works.

It does not attempt to take XML and generate RPG parameters for it!!

IWS does have limitations. It can only handle 7 parameters and they must be either passed by reference or be a 10i 0 field.

But, those fields can be data structures, and the structures can have many parameters...

Or, you could just pass one large character string, and you could put XML data inside that character string...

No, using a large number of parameters would point to a design error. If
IWS takes a XML document and creates a parameter for every XML element,
sounds like it is a design error. That is stupid in my opinion. You know
you are going to have XML documents with more than 500 elements. The only
solution they can come up with is to pass the XML document by one parameter
for each XML element? .
