Re: WSDL2RPG

[Scott Klement <web400@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

...but...   IBM didn't name their tool "WSDL2RPG".  They named their 
tool Integrated Web Services (IWS) client, and it happens to have a 
shell script named "wsdl2rpg.sh" inside the tool.

Sort of like how the operating system is named IBM i, but yet has a 
command named WRKOBJ.  That doesn't mean we call the operating system 
"WRKOBJ".

To me the frustrating bit is that users (not IBM) keep referring to the 
IWS client as "wsdl2rpg" despite that it's not it's name!!  And, yes, 
there is another tool (that has been around longer) called WSDL2RPG. 
But, this wouldn't be confusing if people referred to the IBM tool by 
it's actual name.

The WSDL that I need to consume is for an integration to NetSuite.  When I run the command to create the objects on the IBM i it gets stuck on the creation of the service program.
