Re: WSDL2RPG

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Except even IBM says "wsdl2rpg"...

"OSP-IWS WSDL2RPG Web service client support"

"The wsdl2rpg.sh tool enables users to generate RPG Web
service client stubs that can be used by an RPG application
to consume a Web service."

https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas3SI42234

I still blame IBM...there's no reason to have used such a short name! :D ;)
