Hey, thanks a lot for taking the time to offer this.
Now for some follow up questions. In Universe, a basic example of my subroutine would look likeb& B subroutine pricing(cust,items,qtys,prices) B7 B B B B B B B B pass in cust,items, and qtys B7 B B B B B B B B return prices associated to each item B B item.max = dcount(items,@am) B B for item.ptr = 1 to item.max B B B B B B prices <item.ptr> = 12345 B B next item.ptr return B B What I'm supposed to be offering up as input is B something like (trimmed down to save space)... B <GETPRICEQUOTEInput> B <QUOTES> B B B <CUSTOMERID>31997</CUSTOMERID> B </QUOTES> B <QUOTEITEMS> B B B <QUOTEITEM> B B B B B <ITEMID>5017</ITEMID> B B B B B <QTY>2</QTY> B B B </QUOTEITEM> B </QUOTEITEMS> </GETPRICEQUOTEInput> B The closest I could get with the u2wsd was... B <GETPRICEQUOTEInput> B B B <CUSTOMERID>31997</CUSTOMERID> B <QUOTEITEMS> B B B B B <ITEMID>5017</ITEMID> B B B B B <QTY>2</QTY> B </QUOTEITEMS> </GETPRICEQUOTEInput> B What I need to return is basically the same thing as the xml passed in but with an additional element named <PRICE>. You wouldn't happen to have an example of how to parse the xml data into arrays for arguments to the uv sub would you? As long as I'm asking for that...B What about an example of how to create the xml from the uv arrays?B And heck, as long as I'm getting bold... How would I generateB the wsdl so the client knows what I'm offering? Although I do have visual studio 2008, I haven't done anything with it yet.B B I was hoping to start learning it, but at my own pace. Now I'm under the gun! B B Sorry for such basic questions and thanks a ton B for the guidance. I remember writing the backend for a website on our Universe system back in 2000.B I was creating xml and pushing it out to Microsoft Message Queue service using a GCI routine someone wrote for usB in C.B It was so easy to build the XML and pass it back.B This stuff seems pretty complicated. Here's another question.B I have a thermos.B I can put hot stuff in it, it keeps it hot.B I can put cold stuff in it, it keeps it cold.B How do it know?
