Re: Receiving/Returning DS and Arrays using IWS

Hi Jerry, some links:

Related: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6982701

When you have arrays and deploy a service selecting "Detect fields length"
you can code:

Dcl-ds MyDs qualified inz;
  Pairs_LENGTH int(10) inz(0);
  Dcl-Ds Pairs dim(5000);
    vKey varchar(20) inz('');
    vValue varchar(200) inz('');
  End-Ds;
End-Ds;

If MyDs.Pairs has 396 elements with data set MyDs.Pairs_LENGTH = 396;

And IWS will produce only the requested numbers (in this case 396) in
response instead of 5000.
