Re: Passing XML back and forth with RPG and .NET

The problem is allowing the use of the green-screen AND the web. The first
programs will be display only (which I have working fine), but eventually
they are going to request to be able to enter data via the web. I have a bit
of time to play with this so I figured I should have a method working.

Good luck Mike

Personally I would stick to using .NET to display the data, but I accept
that you may have to do it your way and no doubt there are reasons I am not
aware of.

Looking forward to the write-up (but maybe not)!

The problem then would be if I am sending a display file with CTL data and
hundreds of SFL records. There isn't an easy way to process this.

Once I have a good solid working design, I am going to be writing up what I
did.

If your using C#.NET and RPG wouldn't it be a good idea to parse inbound

data using C#.NET and pop it into a DB2/400 table and then use RPG for

onward processing (and vice versa in reverse for outbound XML data)?

Best of both worlds maybe...

I am at a loss here of a best-practice to pass XML back and forth with
RPG
and C#.NET. Originally, I was going to use a temp physical file in QTEMP,
but it seems to be that there should be a better way. The temp file has
one
line of the document in one record of the file. To me this seems to add a
lot of extra work that really shouldn't be needed. I am looking for a
two-way communication.

One thought is to pass a 32000 char parameter back and forth, but is that
really a good idea? What happens if the document happens to be bigger
than
that? I don't think I would hit that limit so maybe I would be fine?

What about creating a temp IFS file? That seems like more work than is
needed as well.

What are your thoughts?

Obviously, both the RPG and C# programs will be reading and processing
the
XML document.

I may x-post this on RPG-L as well.
