The signature of an Integration Server service specifies the
data types for the parameters of the service. There are three data types:
String
, Record
and Object
. Parameters of
type String
are mapped to an IDL alphanumeric data type,
parameters of type Record
to IDL groups. The mapping of parameters of type
Object
has been enhanced in recent versions of the EntireX Adapter. For details see table below.

Parameters of type String
may have an associated context
type which is specified in the constraints of the parameter's properties.
This content type may influence the data type mapping.

Notes:
String
are mapped to an IDL
alphanumeric data type, available as variable (AV
,
AVn
) or fixed (An
) length. Which alphanumeric type is
used is specified in the wizard page of the IDL Extractor for Integration Server or as a
parameter of the generation service.
len
, then
Alen
is used. If the content type specifies a maximum length
max
, then AVmax
or Amax
is used, see (1)
for the choice between A
versus Av
. If neither length
nor maximum length is specified, the choice is the same as in (1).
Object
is mapped to an IDL binary data type.
Depending on the target language, it is either mapped to BV
(for
Natural
and Other
) or to BV256
(for
COBOL
and PL/I
).
Nx.y
is used. If only a total
number of digits is specified, then Nx
is used. If no total number
of digits is specified, or the total number exceeds the maximum allowed value,
or the number of fraction digits exceeds the maximum allowed value, then a
string according to (1) is used. The maximum allowed value for the total number
of digits is 29, for COBOL it is 31. The maximum allowed value for the number
of fraction digits is 7, for COBOL it is 31 and for Natural it is 29.
