Goal

Overview

The purpose of this document is to provide a reference for developers and business partners who are interested in creating calls from within C business functions to RPG programs residing on the AS/400.

Included in this document are a description of the business purpose, pre-requisite setup requirements for implementing calls from JDEdwards EnterpriseOne, and an overview of how a call is made. Examples of calls are included, and will be used to explain the process.

Purpose

By following the steps outlined in this document and referring to the examples described, developers and business partners who need to call RPG programs from C business functions should be able to create their own calls.

This process was first implemented when JDEdwards EnterpriseOne, in partnership with ITLS Corporation, developed a method of utilizing ITLS's advanced shipment processing functionality within the framework of the current order processing. This method enables JDEdwards EnterpriseOne clients to use the Shipper Management System (SMS) by sending a call from a JDEdwards EnterpriseOne business application to the AS/400. Through the SMS interface, clients have access to tools residing on the AS/400 which are not available in the JDEdwards EnterpriseOne environment.

The ITLS examples described in this document are for informational and reference purposes only, and are not intended to be exact templates for other applications. Because requirements vary for each application, actual implementation may be different from the processes and procedures described in this document.
