Scott,You are absolutely right. There is nothing I could add except for that you can change the default length for strings at the WSDL2RPG command prompt. Press F9 to see the additional parameters STRLEN and DIM. If you do that that new default length is assigned to all strings and you may hit the RPG barrier of 64k. Due to the limitations of RPG the result data structure generated by WSDL2RPG can not exceed 64k.
The other option you have is to change the *_t type definition only for that specific variable. If that also does not work you have to have to get into the generated code and replace the variable by a pointer and manually allocate storage and copy the value to that pointer. Larry, let me know if you hit that problem and I will try to figure out how to do that.

My understanding (and it may be wrong) is that WSDL documents don't usually tell you the size of the string. They simply say "data type is String".In many languages, that's a non-issue. Java, PHP, C#, etc all let you declare a string, and don't ask you for a size. they dynamically update the size as needed. Thus, the standards being the way they are.But, when Thomas created WSDL2RPG, he had to pick a number, since RPG requires it. He picked 128, figuring it would be large enough for most of the strings used in web services, without being too big (and thus risking hitting RPG's memory limits). He figured you could easily go in and change that 128 to something larger if you needed to.At least, that's my understanding. I probably shouldn't speak for him, but I think he told me that at one point :)Larry Kleinman wrote:Hi all - I am just getting started with WSDL2RPG and my first few simple attempts seem to work OK. I have now run into a problem - one of the fields that the web service expects can be very long (a few thousand characters), but the "stub" created by WSDL2RPG is defined as 128A varying. Can I just change this to a bigger number in the 2 places it is defined, or is there more to it? (Where did the 128 come from in the first place?)
