In an unwrapped form, the procedure or function passes individual
INPUT, OUTPUT, or INPUT-OUTPUT parameters
that reflect the individual data elements wrapped by the out element for these Wrapped Doc/Lit
operation parameters. In this case, the WSDL Analyzer is likely to document each parameter as
an ABL data type that maps to a simple XML Schema data type defined in the outer elements of
the wrapped parameters. (For more information, see Map XML Schema data types to ABL data types.) If the definition for an unwrapped parameter embedded within a complex
outer element is also a complex element, the WSDL Analyzer might have to document that
unwrapped parameter as a complex XML Schema data type mapped to an ABL
LONGCHAR. However, in many cases, only simple data types are required to
implement all of the parameters for a Wrapped Doc/Lit operation. In this case, you have no
need to parse any XML in ABL. For more information on coding with the unwrapped form, see the
Programming options.
