Data Type Conversion Rules for ABL Calls to OpenEdge SOAP Web Services

This appendix describes how OpenEdge converts between the following ABL data types and XML Schema data types in parameters passed to SOAP Web services called from ABL. Any casting between an ABL type and an unsupported XML Schema type or an invalid match between an ABL type and a supported XML Schema type raises an ABL run-time error, as detailed in the following sections.
Note: The tables in this chapter describe data transformations for the ABL INPUT and OUTPUT parameter modes. The INPUT-OUTPUT parameter mode behaves in the same manner.
* Data type casting
* CHARACTER or LONGCHAR
* DATE
* DATETIME
* DATETIME-TZ
* DECIMAL
* INT64
* INTEGER
* LOGICAL
* MEMPTR or RAW
