Re: IWS and input parameters...

the suffix _LENGTH must be capital because that is what IWS currently
looks for. It should not matter because it is not part of payload.

If you have a structure that is an input parameters, then the HTTP method
is POST or PUT.

Other than what we have for doc on web site, and articles, that is
all the doc there is. We are in process of updating the doc.

@Nadir, your assumption is correct, pFilterDs is indeed input. So you

are

saying that I can have a data structure as input?

Why must the "_lenght" be in upper case. I've never seen nor understand
this requirement.

Thanks,

Rob

Which parameters are input and which output?

And "_length" suffix should be "_LENGTH"

Assuming pFilterDs is input, you may want to define a length

field

for it as well so that you know how many entries are being passed

in.

I want to have a filter(s) for my api.
An individual filter is defined as

dcl-ds filterTmp template qualified;
type char(20);
value char(20);
end-ds;

But there may be multiple occurrences of filter. For example,

'Warehouse': '95,96,97'
'Type':'Shipments'
'DateRange': 'LastWeek'

I was hoping to do something like
dcl-pi *n;
pFilterDs likeds(filterTmp) dim(10) const;
transactionDs_length int(10);
transactionsDs likeds(transactionsTmp) dim(1000);
httpStatus like(httpStatusTmp);
httpHeaders like(httpHeadersTmp) dim(10);
end-pi;

But when I try this on Step 5 of 9 on the Deploy New Service Wizard

I

get

error
*Error:* ZUI_54411: The HTTP method must be PUT or POST when there

is an

input parameter that is not being injected with a value.

How should I be doing this?
