ORIGINAL ISSUE.

We have been using iSockets for sometime, without issues. Today we started getting

"Message . . . . :   Length or start position is out of range for the string
  operation.                                                               
                                                                           
Cause . . . . . :   One of the following has occurred in RPG procedure     
  parseHTTPR in program ISOCKETS/ISOCKETS: "   AND,                             

 "File QISOCKETS in library ISOCKETS with member ISOCKETS not found".

We are at V6.1 latest ptf's.  In debug on the nRtnLen = postUrlData(url : service : reqData : %addr(rtnXML) : %size(rtnXML): 0 : 819 ); line the nRtnLen is 143662.

nRtnLen is 10i.

We are consuming a inhouse created web service that returns A/P invoices. The issue seems to be with the date range request returning a large number of invoices.

Thank you in advance for your hlep/suggestions on resolving this issue

The code doesn't look like it is within the parseHTTP routine.

It is actually in the parseURL routine. Could be a version/source difference...

But is the domain name (url) goofy in some way? Can you post it perhaps without the real URL but perhaps with something like: xxx.xxxxx.xxx:8086

Here's what its doing at that point in the iSockets code:

NOTE: Full iSockets source code is available for a small fee.

2850.00     for i = (%Len(szURL)-1) DownTo 1;                               
2851.00       if %subst(szURL:i:1) = COLON;                                 
2852.00          // If a colon is detected, get the following digits        
2853.00          nPos = %check(DIGITS:%subst(szURL:i+1));                   
2854.00          // If there are digits, capture them, else it's not a port.
2855.00         if nPos = 0;                                                
2856.00           port = %subst(szURL:i+1);                                 
2857.00         elseif nPos > 0;                                            
2858.00           port = %subst(szURL:i+1:nPos-1);                          
2859.00         else;                                                       
2860.00           port = ' ';                                               
2861.00         endif;                                                      
2862.00         if port <> *blanks;                                         
2863.00            nPort = %int(%trimR(port));                              
2864.00            szDomain = %subst(szURL:1: i - 1);                       
2865.00         else;                                                       
2866.00            szDomain = szURL;                                        
2867.00         endif;                                                      
2868.00         leave;                                                      
2869.00       endif; 
2870.00    endfor; 

url is like this: http://DEVxxxxxxxxx03.xxxxxxxxxx.xxxx:8001 

We've been using this url for several weeks in development for this project. We started having issues when the request was for a large number of invoices. Request for a single invoice works just fine. And this date range request worked on a invoice returning 79 items.

As far as source code - boss says that would be a good thing. What is the procedure for purchase?

Just an update for this issue. I thought we had the latest iSockets library, but maybe not.

We purchased the source and re-created the service program. All is well.

Thanks for looking into this Bob, but it looks like the issue was on our end -not having the latest version.
