IBM INFORMIX 4G / 5724C6680 / 750 - Informix 7.50

You have defined a 4GL Web Service that returns an array of
DATETIME values as in:

#test.4cf  - Adapt to your setup
[SERVICE]
  TYPE = publisher
  INFORMIXDIR = /opt/IBM/4gl/7.51.UC1
  DATABASE = sysutils
  CLIENT_LOCALE = en_US.819
  DB_LOCALE = en_US.819
  INFORMIXSERVER = your_informix_server
  HOSTNAME = your_axis_hostname
  PORTNO =   your_axis_port
  I4GLVERSION = 7.51.xC1
  WSHOME = /opt/IBM/4gl/7.51.UC1/AXIS2C
  WSVERSION = 1.5
  TMPDIR = /your_working_dir/tmp
  SERVICENAME = test_dt
  [FUNCTION]
      NAME = test_dt_arr
      [INPUT]
      [END-INPUT]
          [OUTPUT]
             [ARRAY] NAME = dt_arr TYPE = DATETIME YEAR TO
SECOND
          [END-ARRAY]
      [END-OUTPUT]
  [END-FUNCTION]
  [DIRECTORY]
      NAME = .
      FILE = test_dt.4gl
  [END-DIRECTORY]
[END-SERVICE]

#test_dt.4gl
function test_dt_arr()
define
   dt_arr dynamic array of datetime year to second

   allocate array dt_arr[8]

  #return some values, mostly NULL
   INITIALIZE dt_arr[1]  TO NULL
   INITIALIZE dt_arr[2]  TO NULL
   INITIALIZE dt_arr[3]  TO NULL
   LET dt_arr[4] = CURRENT
   INITIALIZE dt_arr[5]  TO NULL
   INITIALIZE dt_arr[6]  TO NULL
   INITIALIZE dt_arr[7]  TO NULL
   LET dt_arr[8] = CURRENT
   return dt_arr
end function
When calling the service,, the reply will be a fault message,
either:

      
         Server
         There was an error in the web
service
         
            
               -4998
               Operation failed while converting
data from the SQL format to the XSD format
            
         
      

or, in some cases :

     
        Server
        There was an error in the web
service
        
           
              -4986
              Communication between fgld daemon
and  application server was closed.
           
        
     

which happens if the child fgld servicing the request crashes.
