Re: anyone willing to help the ILE Illiterate?
You've been using RPG with out using some of the most powerful
features of the language! Unfortunately you are not alone.
When I was a team leader (as recently as late 2008) I had to train all
of our new hires in ILE because we couldn't find any RPG programmers
that really used it. I would get together with them for at least 1/2
day (sometimes longer) intense session to get them oriented to ILE.
And that was just to get them started. A quick phone call or e-mail
is probably not going to be enough.
I would suggest searching for articles on iSeriesNetwork and MCPress
in addition to the resources already mentioned.
I would suggest you approach in the following general order
1. subprocedures and prototyped calls
2. modules (bind by copy)
3. service programs (bind by reference)
4. binder language and activation groups
I have used HTTPAPI on three different projects and it works great.
Learning ILE will make you much more productive.

My coworker and I are interested in implementing the HTTPAPI but are
not
versed in RPG ILE.
If any one out there is willing to take a little time to discuss on
the
phone or via email, please contact me.
Or, if you have written code which can be used as is (without all the
writeups, just load and compile, or whatever) with simple RPG to call
it
(passing mayber, server and string, returning a string?) that would
be
cool.
davew AT daserv dot com
Thanks.
we'd really like to keep this functionality on the iSeries and not
have it
pushed to a pc platform for our project.

Take a look at the examples. Try and implement one of them. Let us
know what
problems you have.

Dave,
Have you looked at the examples provided with HTTPAPI?
If you tell us what you need to do, we can probably tell you which
example comes the closest.
Long term: Given that you're about 15 years behind, you need to update
your skill sets. Some places to start:

There are excellent samples included with the download. I'd suggest
picking one or two that looks like what you want to do, and trying
them out. If you get stuck, come back here with your questions. This
is a generous community.

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).
