It looks like XMLSERVICE includes a new XML dialect for calling programs, which essentially obsoletes/marginalizes PCML/XPCML and the work that was put into the RPG compiler to generate such. XPCML was designed to be extensible. Why not extend it to address the deficiencies in the programcall model?

As Maurice says: "ADO.Net can do anything. Except the dishes" :-)
JT400 cleans up and does the dishes :-)
But it won't let me re-use my existing RPG subprocedure that returns a DS that is Dim(99).
So - it can only do _some_ of the dishes. And that isn't the only limitation.
