RPC HELP M Entry In RP File
RPC Entry in the Remote Procedure File After the M code is complete, you need to add the RPC to the REMOTE PROCEDURE file (#8994). The following fields in the REMOTE PROCEDURE file (#8994) are key to the correct operation of an RPC:
Field Name
Required?
Description
NAME (#.01)
Yes
The name that identifies the RPC (this entry should be namespaced in the package namespace).
TAG (#.02)
Yes
The tag at which the remote procedure call begins.
ROUTINE (#.03)
Yes
The name of the routine that should be invoked to start the RPC.
WORD WRAP ON (#.08)
No
Affects GLOBAL ARRAY and WORD PROCESSING return value types only. If set to False, all data values are returned in a single concatenated string in Results[0]. If set to True, each array node on the M side is returned as a distinct array item in Results.
RETURN VALUE TYPE (#.04)
Yes
This can be one of five types: SINGLE VALUE, ARRAY, WORD PROCESSING, GLOBAL ARRAY, GLOBAL INSTANCE. This setting controls how the Broker processes an RPC's return parameter.
