Re: calling a program v using a SRVPGM

You could - but that just adds a layer and degrades performance - unless the caller is on a different system - if you are just calling it locally then ...

You need to forget that you are using the Service Program to provide a web service and just call the routines like you would any other in a Service Program

1) Create a Binding Directory which references the name of the Service Program

2) Create a prototype source to define the interfaces to the routine in the Service Program

3) In the regular RPG program add a Ctl-Opt BndDir('BNDDIRNAME'); at the start of the RPG program.

4) Also add a /Copy to reference the prototypes

That's pretty much it.

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.
