RE: RPG Array's - Please Help
Thanks every one, I see my answer is the PCML file can be used, I knew
it was somewhere, just didn't know where to start looking for the
solution

This is not related to HTTPAPI but before dismissing you off to
MIDRANGE.COM, I will take a stab at it.
You have a web service on the IBMi that sends data.
You have a series of repeating values you want to send.
The web service doesn't care if it sends 1 or 100.
Assumption...you are reading detail records and creating the data.
Assumption...you are using XML.
D XML s 65000A
XMLHeader(); // add XML header information to XML variable Read detail;
Dow not %eof();
XMLDetail( valueFromDetail );
Read detail;
Enddo;
XMLFooter();
.
.
.
XMLDetail PI
valuetoWrite 10i 0
XML += '<thisisyourdata>' + %char(valuetoWrite) + '</thisisyourdata>';
Not too hard now is it?
On the other hand, in a previous message you indicated you are using
IWS. No experience with it other than doing a test deploy, but there
appears to be array support. You need to specify the count as a
variable or live with the non used elements or you need to manually
construct the PCML document...
[2]http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/i/software/iws/quickstart_server.html
"The Count column indicates that the parameter is an array. If the
Count value is a number, then the number identifies the number of
entries in the array. If the Count value references another parameter,
which must be an integer type, then the referenced variable is used at
runtime to determine the actual number of elements in the array. There
are performance ramifications to consider regarding parameters that are
arrays. If the Count value is a number, and the usage of the parameter
is output or input/output, then all the array elements are returned in
the response to a client request, even if the valid elements in the
array is less than the maximum. To improve the performance of Web
service requests, it is a good idea for output or input/output arrays
to have the Count value reference another parameter that contains the
actual number of elements in the array if you know that the number of
elements in the array is not constant. For nested arrays, such as
arrays within struc!
tures, the Count value cannot be set. In order to change the nested
array's count value, a manually constructed PCML document needs to be
provided. Refer to the IBM Information Center for more information on
PCML syntax."

I am using a RPG program with an array to pass information out via a
web service deployed on my AS400, but I don't have the now-how to make
the array flexible, because right now I specify the array with 200
records, when the web service runs, it creates 200 records although
there might only be data in the first 2 records.
Any advice or where I can start looking for - how to do
