Re: Purpose of %STR(%ADDR()) ?

The problem being solved, at least in part may be a lack of knowledge of RPG on the part of the writer.

On my system I haven't unpacked any of those samples Booth. Which one are you looking at specifically (i.e. which source member from which save file). If I can do it easily I can then point out the bits that matter to you.

I bet you explained it. The snippet comes from QSYSDIR/QIWSSAMPLE; the sample web service program for the IWS wizard. There is every probability that this is a translation from existing code.

I was thinking there was some hidden danger in the web service problem that was being solved with this solution, and I'd best be using this solution for web services code or I would be inadvertently summoning Great Demons.

... Hope this helps. It would be nice to know what example you are working from. IBM's attempts to re-code in RPG programs originally written in C often contain truly idiotic translations - just came upon several in the XMLTOOLKIT examples.
