Re: Tips for New WDSC Installations

I got used to using the alt + shift + Right or Left arrow to move code that
was highlighted right or left.  My first setup is to do;

a-page-Down   -------  scrollTop    <  Puts cursor line at top of screen
a-pageUp ------- scrollBottom   <  Puts cursor line at bottom of screen
a-s   --------  splitAndShift   <  splits line in the same position on new
line
a-s-left ------- blockShiftLeft   <  Shift marked text left
a-s-right ------- blockshiftRight   <  Shift marked text right
a-t ---------  scrollTop   <  Puts cursor line at top of screen
c-w --------  blockMarkWord   < select word at the cursor position
numpadEnter -------- openLine   <  COBOL makes numpad enter key like the
other

Re: WDSC/WDSC AE v7.0 Fix Pack 2 Interim fix 001 is now available


Thanks for the information!

I found out that the reason why IM didn't find the updates was because the
Http proxy settings was not set.

This is set like this:
In IM File/Preferences/Repositories/Http proxy
Check Enable proxy server
Enter proxy host and proxy port
Click Apply

Run the Update packages again.

Re: WDSC/WDSC AE v7.0 Fix Pack 2 Interim fix 001 is nowavailable


Hi,

I also had problems getting the updates to work, but finally I resolved
this issue!

I found out that the reason why IM didn't find the updates was because the
Http proxy settings was not set.

This is set like this:
In Installation Manager go to File/Preferences/Repositories/Http proxy
Check Enable proxy server
Enter proxy host and proxy port
Click Apply

Run the Update packages again.

Sorry - should have been more clear (and tested).  I had thought that if 
you pressed Alt+Shift+S when in the Key textbox it would fill in a-s-s for 
you, but I was wrong about that.  Anyway, even if that was true my 
instruction wasn't clear that the key combo should be pressed rather than

Re: Tips for New WDSC Installations

Here is what I do:

1) I set all my preferences the way I like. I set up my CVS repository.

2) I use the pulldown menu  "File--> Export --> General -->
Preferences" and choose to export all. I then choose the exported file
location as a shared mapped drive letter.

3) I import the preferences into all other workspaces that I use. I
use the pulldown menu "File --> Import --> General --> preferences"

4) I show my team members how to import the file so they do not have
to set up their own preferences.

Limit on number of parms in Web Service

Anyone know if there is a limit in the current web service generation wizard
that limits the number of parameters that can be passed?  

I have a customer trying to use a program that takes 52 parameters (yes
really) and it is blowing up with error messages that indicate that the pcml
can't be found.

Re: Limit on number of parms in Web Service

I usually create the PCML separately and put it in a shared folder on the
IFS. I then use the PCML to create the web service. Also, you may want to
put the parms in a data structure - that is easier to manipulate by the
consumer of the web service

BTW PCML cannot convert iSeries date fields - we convert them to 10 string
fields. If they have date fields on the parm list then the wizard is
probably unable to create the PCML.

Have them run the following on their ISeries  then you can look at the PCML
in the IFS.

CRTRPGMOD MODULE(mylib/ITIN)
          SRCFILE(mylib/QRPGLESRC)
          OPTION(*SHOWCPY)
          DBGVIEW(*ALL)
          BNDDIR(*LIBL/mybindingdir)
          PGMINFO(*PCML)
          INFOSTMF('/shares/mypcmls/this.pcml')

Re: Limit on number of parms in Web Service

If the program is a service program, the parameters limit is 7.  If the
program is *PGM object, then the limit is 35.

Re: Limit on number of parms in Web Service

Limitations of PCML that I have found (which makes it practically useless
unless you want to change the way you code RPG to facilitate the IBM Java
Toolbox):

1.  Pass-back parm must be an int (ouch)
2.  Doesn't support date or timestamp datatypes (ouch +1)
3.  Can't have more than seven (7) parms on the prototype (ouch + 1)
4.  Can't pass by value if there are more than four (4) bytes in a parameter
(ouch + 1) (need to verify this is the case with PCML, but it definitely the
case with ServiceProgramCall)

Ouch total=4

I haven't ever heard of why those limitations exist.  Anybody have an
answer?
