Beware... dreaded vendor input...

Iws and pcml can carry some unnecessary overhead.

Passing straight customized Json requests/responses is much more efficient
and flexible.

That’s why I created this.
Be sure to view video demos of api consumption by .net core application.

Hi Robert, is there a specific reason not to use IWS builtin capacity

to

deliver parsed parameters to the called RPG *PGM/*SRVPGM?

Just curious about other developers' use of IWS.

Hi All,

I'm creating a REST webservice/api and using IWS. I'm then using

Postman

to test the webservice. All the endpoints call procedures in a service
program..

I have an endpoint /web/server/claims which will call the RPG procedure
GetAllClaims which returns all claims. I have tested this with

Postman

and it works correctly.

My next step is to add a filter. So I call the same endpoint but this

time

I pass a parameter of whid. So the endpoint now becomes
/web/server/claims/?whid=93 which will call the RPG procedure

GetAllClaims

but this time I need to extract the parameter passed in the

QUERY_STRING to

return only claims for warehouse 93.

Can someone point me to either documentation or an example of how to
specify and extract from the QUERY_STRING. I've done a lot of

searching on

Google but I must not be searching on the correct terms because I can't
find anything on QUERY_STRING other than that you may specify it..

Thanks,

Rob
