Have you looked at the docs? See http://dcx.sap.com/index.html#sa160/en/dbreference/create-procedure-statement.html
Thanks I did take a look but it's greek to me. It seems whomever wrote the help assumed much more knowledge than I have on the subject. Sample procedures shown also are in a strange non-watcom language.
Hm, that's probably just a misunderstanding: The web client procedures do not have a body, they just define the call the database server has to do (i.e. the web request) – similar how external procedurs do not have a body but define the external DLL/function that will be called.
Usually you will have a two-stop approach:
If I find some time (currently I don't), I could provide a small sample.
But looking for questions with the "webclient" tag might give you further hints.
It would be something like:
create or replace procedure foo() url 'https://services.gisgraphy.com/reversegeocoding/search?lat=36.93356&lng=-75.95025&format=xml' type 'https:get';
Note that I get a 401 error when invoking this procedure. The gisgeography documentation suggests that this means "Need auth. The API key parameter is missing, wrong, or doesn't correspond to any subscriptions".
Thank you both I'm going to check the api and try this over the weekend.
FWIW, with 17.0.10.6175, I do get SQLCODE -990 here (" The secure connection to the remote host failed: The TLS handshake failed"), even if I add a CLAUSE LIKE
and
set 'HTTP(VERSION=1.1)';
