I'm sorry if I'm restating the obvious, but..   Have you tried supplying 
the appropriate soapaction?

Here's the sample code you supplied:

 >     rc = http_url_post_xml(
 >                'http://10.186.194.2/SAPWebService/Service1.asmx'
 >                       : %addr(SOAP) + 2
 >                       : %len(SOAP)
 >                       : %paddr(StartElement)
 >                       : %paddr(EndElement)
 >                       : *NULL );

The SOAPAction parameter is the 10th parameter to this API.  You are 
only passing 6 parameters, consequently, you're not passing the 
SOAPAction at all.  Therefore no SoapAction is sent.  Therefore you'll 
get a message that says "Hey Chris, you need to pass the soap action!" 
(Or "Please supply a valid soap action.")

I have no way of knowing what this particular web service requires for a 
soap action parameter.  But once you determine what it should be, here's 
where you pass it:

      rc = http_url_post_xml(
                 'http://10.186.194.2/SAPWebService/Service1.asmx'
                        : %addr(SOAP) + 2
                        : %len(SOAP)
                        : %paddr(StartElement)
                        : %paddr(EndElement)
                        : *NULL
                        : HTTP_TIMEOUT
                        : HTTP_USERAGENT
                        : 'text/xml'
                        : 'put your soap action here' );
