RE: RPG Array's - Please Help
Yip I use a RPG program with an array to pass driver information to an
outside company, being more than one driver there is more than one
record, my initial thinking was to use the array as an output to pass
the information so that the info can be passed in one single call, in
my rpgle program I specify the array as DIM(100).
My rpgle program then uses a pcml file, the complaint I had in doing
this was that let's say there is only one driver change, the data the
outside company receives will have 1 record with data and 99 records
with none,
And not being an rpg specialist I have not been able to change my rpg
program to have a variable in the DIM(VARIABLE),
Now reading up on this it seems there is a way of doing it with the
pcml file, but this I have also not been able to get working

I would be happy to send it to but based on what I have seen of this
thread, I don't think that is what you are looking for.
As I understand this you have a web service written in Java that wants
to call a program on the AS/400. Is that correct?
If yes, you are using PCML to build the call to the AS/400 programs and
you want to pass arrays of data to the AS/400?
First of all, let me say that I don't believe in using PCML to pass
array or other information to the AS/400. It just gets too complicated.
What I have done at my present company is to abstract the interface
away but that is probably too complex for you.
What I would suggest is to use XML. Just build an XML string with your
data and pass all the requests that way so that interface is always the
same.
In the receiving AS/400 you just receive a single varchar string (a
Varying Character field) say 32K in size. In your receiving program,
you just use EXPAT, or SAX or XML-INTO to parse the XML and process.
Using this method, you can pass any kind of data no matter how complex.
The sending program and receiving programs just have to agree on what
the XML looks like.
All this assumes that I have understood you situation correctly. Have I
understand the problem?
