The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Instead of a full blown web service you can write an ASP.Net app that can take in URL requests or Posts and send back formatted response data that you can use in your RPG application.
Then use something like LIBHTTP to post requests and receive responses.
We've been doing this approach for over 10 years, even before REST became a term and it works well :-)

subject: Re: [SystemiDotNet] Can we pass parameter from CL or RPGLE
tocall a .Net program on a windows server?
Matt and Bill,
I'm trying to avoid this scenario where the IBM i is writing directly to the MSSQL database. This is because I have to write this functionality in .Net anyway for other .Net based programs, so I really just want it to be able to be called from everywhere. I'd rather not maintain two identical pieces of logic. If we need to, we will, but since we're only writing the IBM i integration as a stop gap until we get the system replaced in the next year I'd like to use what I was planning on writing in .Net anyway. So maybe a web service type approach would be better, but then there is special coding in order to make this work from the IBM i anyway, right?
Thank You
