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. |
