Does anyone know if it's possible (and how) to post some XML data to a .NET
web service from RPG? I am a .net developer (web) and I need some data from
our corporate as400. The programmers on that side use RPG. Can they pass me
some data to a web service from RPG? Has anyone ever done that or have
better suggestions? Thanks.

Most up-to-date mainframes have TCP/IP stacks installed which is the
prerequisite for this because web services use HTTP. I am not as
familiar with the RPG language but all mainframe languages have a way of
accessing other libraries. For instance, I have done something similar
using Rexx script.

There is a recently announced tool that will allow you to do exactly this! It is called RPG-XML Suite (www.rpg-xml.com) and will allow an RPG programmer to easily compose xml documents, send them to a remote end-point, and parse the response.

Disclaimer: I am affiliated with the product as I am the lead developer. Let me know if I can be of any assistance.
