Re: Weird IWS Bug (?)

That is what I thought I was achieving _by_ selecting the Detect Length option Anshul. Guess I had it back to front.

It just tried redeploying and deselected the detect length but no other options appear and PRODUCTLIST_LENGTH still appears in the output.

Can you tell me what the name of the box I'm looking for is and on what screen it appears.

Hi Jon

Can you post the code ? So there are two aspects to it . Lets say you have
datastructure with dim 20 . In your code you are only populating the 3
rows.
If you put datastructure in output then you will get 6 rows with data and
14 would have structure but no values in the datastructure field.

So to avoid that issue of populating blank values . We use the concept
Nadir/Martin pointed out in which we will have two output prams length and
datastructure . When you are deploying yhe webservices , please uncheck the
detect field length. Then you will have option with length of 20 and in
drop down you can use length for dim.a

Benefit of using it is you will have now 3 rows not 20 and you will have
one more output called length,

{
"XXX_DS": [
{ first datastructure row },
{ second datastructure row},
{third datastructure row } ]
"length":3 }

Without Length concept

{
"XXX_DS": [
{ first data structure row },
{ second datastructure row},
{third datastructure row }
.
.
{ 20th datastructure row}

}

Hope it makes sense!
I am just trying to help as I have also struggled in past with these issues.

Thanks
Anshul

One other thought occurs to me... Are you expecting productList to be
truncated to the length of _LENGTH?

The productList will have 20 elements, always. The only function of
the _lENGTH parm is as information for who ever is consuming the data,
so that they will know how many elements to look for. No changes in
productList take place because of the _LENGTH parm.

I am not sure what you mean by "ignoring it"?
