Here is what I have
Dcl-DS Types Qualified Template Inz;
Type Char(2);
Description Char(25);
End-Ds;
Dcl-pr WOMOrdTyRn;
Envir Char(2);
Response_LENGTH Int(10);
Response LikeDS(Types) Dim(20);
Fail Char(100);
End-pr;
Dcl-pi WOMOrdTyRn;
Envir Char(2);
Response_LENGTH Int(10);
Response LikeDS(Types) Dim(20);
Fail Char(100);
End-pi;
When I run in debug, Response is loaded.
EVAL Response
RESPONSE.TYPE(1) = 'DS'
RESPONSE.DESCRIPTION(1) = 'Drop Ship '
RESPONSE.TYPE(2) = 'EX'
RESPONSE.DESCRIPTION(2) = 'Expedited Order '
RESPONSE.TYPE(3) = 'LT'
RESPONSE.DESCRIPTION(3) = 'Literature Packed '
RESPONSE.TYPE(4) = 'NC'
RESPONSE.DESCRIPTION(4) = 'No Charge '
RESPONSE.TYPE(5) = 'RM'
RESPONSE.DESCRIPTION(5) = 'Remake '
RESPONSE.TYPE(6) = 'RW'
RESPONSE.DESCRIPTION(6) = 'Re-Work '
RESPONSE.TYPE(7) = 'SL'
When I run the service from Postman I get no data
{
"RESPONSE": [],
"FAIL": ""
}
It had the Response as a structure .
Is there something else I need to do in the service?

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
You need to define type and description as part of data structure and define that field as an array. Something like:
dcl-ds Thing qualified template;
Type Char(2);
Description Char(25);
end-ds;
Dcl-pr WOMOrdTypR;
Envir Char(2);
Things_LENGTH int(10);
Things likeds(Thing) Dim(20);
Fail Char(100);
End-pr;
Dcl-pi WOMOrdTypR;
Envir Char(2);
Things_LENGTH int(10);
Things likeds(Thing) Dim(20);
Fail Char(100);
End-pi;

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [WEB400] Web Service Return DS Array Hi All
Cross posting to RPG list as well.
In my current pgm that is called from my Web Server I return arrays for each element.
I want to return a DS array instead.
Current Parameters
Dcl-pr WOMOrdTypR;
Envir Char(2);
Type Char(2) Dim(20);
Description Char(25) Dim(20);
Fail Char(100);
End-pr;
Dcl-pi WOMOrdTypR;
Envir Char(2);
Type Char(2) Dim(20);
Description Char(25) Dim(20);
Fail Char(100);
End-pi;
Which returns this from the service
{
"TYPE": [
"DS",
"EX",
"LT",
"NC",
"RM",
"RW",
"SL",
"",
"",
"",
"",
"",
"",
"",
"",
"",
"",
"",
"",
""
],
"DESCRIPTION": [
"Drop Ship",
"Expedited Order",
"Literature Packed",
"No Charge",
"Remake",
"Re-Work",
"Standard Lead",
"",
"",
"",
"",
"",
"",
"",
"",
"",
"",
"",
"",
""
],
"FAIL": ""
}
I want it to return
[
{
"TYPE": "DS",
"DESCRIPTION": "Drop Ship"
},
{
"TYPE": "EX",
"DESCRIPTION": "Expedited Order"
},
{
"TYPE": "LT",
"DESCRIPTION": "Literature Packed"
}
]
How do I define this as a DS so the service returns what I want?
I am looking for some good documentation on templates, I am assuming this is what I want but have never used it.
