Concepts

You have already written the Department & Employee Server function, and created a service interface for it, in INT008. Now you will create a client function using HTTPOutboundXMLBindService. This client function will allow the user to input a department code, create a request XML document, send the XML to your iiiFN08_SERVICE to be processed, and display the response XML in a user-friendly list.
