how do you declare the variables ir and n_ir? the code below shows the error:

error: c0047: Simple datatype illegal for crate statemant: n_ir


lob lblb_args
String ls_headers
String ls_url
String ls_args
long ll_length
integer li_rc
Inet ir

li_rc = GetContextService( "Internet", iinet_base )
IF li_rc = 1 THEN ir = CREATE n_ir ls_url = "http://localhost/Site/testurl.stm?"
 ls_args = "user=MyName&pwd=MyPasswd"
 lblb_args = Blob( ls_args )
 ll_length = Len( lblb_args )
 ls_header = "Content-Type: " + &
 "application/x-www-form-urlencoded~n" + &
 "Content-Length: " + String( ll_length ) + "~n~n"
 li_rc = iinet.PostURL( ls_url, lblb_args, &
 ls_header, ir )
END IF

Hi,

EDITED: I was wrong, John was right, I've corrected the code.

Probably you have to change the declaration of "ir":

Change the line: "Inet ir" to: "n_ir ir"

n_ir is probably an object inherited from inet

Also, there's an error in the line:

IF li_rc = 1 THEN ir = CREATE n_ir ls_url = "http://localhost/Site/testurl.stm?"
There's a ";" missing after "create n_ir"
Personally y don't like putting more than one statement on a single line but you can do so.
I would do:
inet linet
integer li_rc

li_rc = GetContextService("internet", linet)
ls_url = "http://localhost/Site/testurl.stm?"
linet.HyperlinkToURL( ls_url )

Thanks! I did, but it didn't work..



After change:

error c0001: illegal data type: n_ir

warning c0014: undefined variable: ir

error c0047: simple datatype fro creater statemant: n_ir

Hi, Luiz -

A PowerBuilder inet object is a service object, so you instantiate it via the GetContextService PowerScript function:

integer li_rc
inet    linet

li_rc = GetContextService("internet", linet)

The PFC object n_ir is not a descendant of the inet object. It is instead a descendant of the internetresult object, which is different from the inet object. You can verify this by using Edit Source on pfc_n_ir in the pfcmain.pbl.

In questions like this, the "System" tab of the PB Object Browser window is your friend. In the left-side pane, right-click and select "Expand All", then scroll down to and click (select) inet, then right-click and select "Show Hierarchy" - and you'll see that inet is a descendant of the service object, as are the contextinformation, contextkeyword, errorlogging, sslserviceprovider and transactionverver system objects.

Regards, John

yes, you're right about n_ir not being an 'inet' object and not having to do a Create. (I didn't even know that one existed in the pfcs, never used it as far as I can remember. So I assumed it had to be something the op created himself, lol)

Hi Miguel;

   FWIW: The "GetContectService" should be replaced with a CREATE. The GCS command works (for now), but its actually is an old EAServer left over.  ;-)

I know in your code example you use a localhost url, but is the actual "live" url external?  The reason I ask is because most scenarios like you have here where you just post some data have been converted to web services, which is a much better solution than using the inet object and post url.  If it's an internal app, you might want to talk to the owner about exposing the functionality as a REST web service.  If it's external, maybe it already has an API.
