Limitations of PCML that I have found (which makes it practically useless
unless you want to change the way you code RPG to facilitate the IBM Java
Toolbox):
1. Pass-back parm must be an int (ouch)
2. Doesn't support date or timestamp datatypes (ouch +1)
3. Can't have more than seven (7) parms on the prototype (ouch + 1)
4. Can't pass by value if there are more than four (4) bytes in a parameter
(ouch + 1) (need to verify this is the case with PCML, but it definitely the
case with ServiceProgramCall)
Ouch total=4
I haven't ever heard of why those limitations exist. Anybody have an
answer?

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Limit on number of parms in Web Service
Anyone know if there is a limit in the current web service generation wizard
that limits the number of parameters that can be passed?
I have a customer trying to use a program that takes 52 parameters (yes
really) and it is blowing up with error messages that indicate that the pcml
can't be found.
