RE: anyone willing to help the ILE Illiterate?

[Mike Krebs <mkrebs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dave,

The ILE that Scott used is pretty straight forward with the exception of the "callback" routines. Once you go through the examples, you will better understand the callback routines and how they are used.

Start with EXAMPLE1 in QRPGLESRC. It is the most straight forward example and has been well documented and "load and go". Compile it (if you didn't), call it and then look in the IFS (WRKLNK '/TMP/*'). Do you see the debug log and the pdf? You just successfully ran the HTTPAPI. No PDF? Copy the debug log and send it here. We'll tell you what to try next.

Some common beginner things...make sure you can get outside with your i. Try pinging yahoo.com. Did it resolve to an IP? Did you get a response? Do you use a proxy on port 80? Need to either make a hole in your firewall or, if possible, use the proxy commands in HTTP (EXAMPLE1 has sample code commented out).
