Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: calling a program v using a SRVPGM

Absolutely!  Used both articles!  The whole exercise of providing web services was a struggle for me but I got there.  Can do the _R__ of CRUD nut haven't dared do the C_UD yet.  Got a couple of web sites set up on the i, the JavaScript, HTML, and CSS all working, and generally quite happy with all of it.

Now that that is done I realize that I want to be able to consume the REST web service with an RPGLE program, or use the same service program in my RPGLE program and I have no idea where to start, other than to ask questions here on midrange.com.

This article by Susan Gardner and Jon Paris shows how to test using a web browser

I am also investigationg this under v7r3, but need a ptf to be loaded - which is to take place on our development system, the weekend on January 12/13 2019


Good luck

exactly.  So, how do I get that same response with RPGLE?  Do I use the web service URL in the RPGLE program in some way?

Booth, when you set up the web service in IWS you select either program or
service program and then if service program you specify the procedure to
be called.

SRVPGM01 is the container if you like that has one or more procedures.

The web-service is the calling program so as you have in your test
program(s) you execute a service program procedure so does your call to
the web-service.

So if you had SRVPGM01 with two procedures: getTempCelcius and
getTempFarenheight

You would have two web-services created in IWS and these services your
requesting program would call.
