Why would it need to when it can return a result set from a stored procedure ?

I personally have found no limits with jt400. Maybe I'm just too simple :-)

In any case I plan to test XMLSERVICE more and complete a .Net service wrapper before COMMON next year for my .Net sessions.

You're completely missing the point Richard. The point is redeployment.

For example: I have many existing RPG subprocedures that I have developed as part of my existing applications. All of them return values in different forms. Some a simple 40 char field. Some a simple DS. Others a compound DS or DS array.

_None_ of those can be called from JT400 - and because it used the same underlying interface - none of them could be called from the old PHP toolkit.

If I've got all my logic in stored procedures I don't need it - but that isn't the way that most of my clients have their existing apps coded - and why would they. They were designed to feed their green screen and batch apps. They now want to use them from the web - or as a web service - or ... and to do so without wrappering them. That's where XMLSERVICE stands out.
