Create module using Webservice?

Jorge

Hello, How Can I create a new module using WebService?. I found how to load, unload, delete, etc.

Thanks

Hi Jorge, 

I'm not sure about WebService, I have never used it,
but the standard Write instructions can be used in RAPID, e.g:

VAR iodev iod_Dev;

Open "HOME:", \File:="asdtest.mod", iod_Dev, \Write;
		
! Write Doc Header
WriteString iod_Dev, ByteToStr(37, \Char) + ByteToStr(37, \Char) + ByteToStr(37, \Char) + ByteToStr(0x0A, \char)
+ ByteToStr(0x09, \Char) + "Version:1.0" + ByteToStr(0x0A, \char)
+ ByteToStr(0x09, \Char) + "Language:ENGLISH" + ByteToStr(0x0A, \char)
+ ByteToStr(37, \Char) + ByteToStr(37, \Char) + ByteToStr(37, \Char);
		
! Write Module Title
WriteString iod_Dev, ByteToStr(0x0A, \char) + ByteToStr(0x0D, \char) + ByteToStr(0x0A, \char)
+ "MODULE asdtest" + ByteToStr(0x0A, \char)
+ "ENDMODULE";
		
Close iod_Dev;

If the file does not exist, the Open instruction creates it. In this case it writes a blank module afterwards.
Special characters need to be added using ByteToStr. It's not the most eloquent solution, but is there a way you can make a RAPID procedure call using webservice? 

I hope this helps, 
Regards,

These days your modules don't need that header, btw.

I'm curious, why is that? Or why did they ever need the header? I'd seen it in examples so I've been using it.
