RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: Question concerning Integrated Web Services

Hi Scott
Apologies - first of all - misspelt it - it should be RTNPARM
Which has nothing to do with IWS
I was just having an exasperated moment trying to go past the problem I was having where the identifier name being swapped out

Alan,

Can you explain RTNPARAM?   I'm having a hard time getting my head around how that fits into this context.

Hi everyone
Before I forget - we are on V7r3

I have been asked to investigate whether IWS (Integrated Web Services)
is feasible to pass data from the iSeries to another system/software

I have done some googling and there is quite a lot of information out
there - but of course - NOTHING that fits EXACTLY what you want

Anyway - I have found both of these very helpful Creating Web Services
With Integrated Web Services

I decided to create a simple proof of concept service program Using
the code RTNPARAM And
PgmInfo(*PCML:*MODULE)

One procedure to return a string, for the customer name and address
2 input parameters
Division number - packed(2:0)
Customer number - packed(9:0)

I have tested the service program on the iSeries - and it works,
giving me the expected results I am now attempting to deploy this as a
new REST service On step 3, where I specify the URI path template, I
have written /{incstdiv:\d+}/{incstnbr:\d+} Showing 2 parameters as
part of the path name Its on Step 5 that I am having a problem The 2
parameters are specified and when I choose *PATH_PARAM as the input
source (both of them) and choosing the applicable identifier INCSTDIV
INCSTNBR I press Next And the second parameter identifier changes to
INCSTDIV with the error
Error: ZUI_53159: Value incstdiv is not valid.
Being displayed at the bottom of the screen

I have gone back to step 3 and changed the identifiers name CUSTDIV
CUSTNBR

Same problem happens

I have googled ZUI_53159 but nothis is displayed

I am hoping that someone will recognize what I am doing wrong As
always - ALL replies gratefully accepted
