I am using PB2017 R3 to create web service. I tried to use the Base64Encode in CoderObject:

    CoderObject lnv_CoderObject
    lnv_CoderObject = Create CoderObject

    ls_Base64Str = lnv_CoderObject.Base64Encode(lblb_data)

There was no error when I saved the program. However, there was error when I tried to deploy the web service to IIS: 

     C0001: Illegal data type: coderobject

 

Please help. Thanks a lot.

Hi Ying .. No as Snap is working in C# and thus no SaveAs() command is supported (aka PowerScript). You would have to use a .NET solution instead for that.

Also, will SnapDevelop be discontinued like PowerBuilder web service? Is there any documentation on the roadmap for SnapDevelop?

Thank you.

Anything that I can use to encode a blob to Base64 string in web service?

BTW, is PB web service not being supported anymore?

Hi Yin;

Yes, the PB WS feature was deprecated in PB2017. At that time, Appeon stopped enhancing & supporting the PB WS feature but it was still in the product. The replacement for the PB WS feature was the new WS API feature found in the new SnapDevelop product. Note that the SD WS feature is all C# based (no PowerScript). The PB WS feature is still there today (basically, "use at own risk"). It will be removed all together in PB2022.

Regards ... Chris

This feature is only supported on the client side in PowerScript.  You can’t use it in the Web services.
