Hi Nick, if it's a SOAP service you can try

Regards Arie.

We create a small standalone egl application and generate to java. We then export the java program to a jar file and call it from the iseries.

Passing parameters is possible.

I don't know how to return values.

We only use this to start jobs with the job scheduler.

Kind regards,

Bram

1) Create a services,
2) Create your functions contain your need
3) In function implement "return"

service myService

 function myFunction (myArgs string in) returns (string)

    ,,,,, 

   return("Xpto")

 end

end

4) Generate the wsdl
5) Generate the interface

When generating the interface, the return is already generated.

I helped ??

I believe the problem is how to return the values to the calling program on the iseries. If I understand correctly the return values have to be available in the CL or RPG program.
