Most likely the data parameters that are being tried in the web service are not supported. Check the parameters of web service methods.

Hi Alexander

Tks for your answer and help.

Tell me a thing, just to understand the functions creation inside Codeunit for WS: can we create some functions to support a Codeunit, which will be used for WS, and put parameters in those functions? What I mean is possible to create a function which we call from WS, and inside that main function can we call others Codeunit functions inside the same Codeunit, where we can have parameters to pass values, or reference to records of tables ? Or is forbidden to create code like that when Codeunit is for WS?

Like this:

Main Function

Call A(SalesLine);

End Main Function

A Function(SalesLinePar);

End A Function

Is this invalid ?

By the way, is somewhere any place we can find a document which describe the WS code restrictions?

Tks from Portugal to Russia !!

Yes thats possible, there wont be any issue on this. Can you please show us the real code what you really trying to execute?

Hi

Tks a lot for your answer.

I did not explain well, looking your answer.

Let me try again:

We create a program to call a NAV Codeunit function called UPDATE_SALESLINE.

Inside that NAV Codeunit we created different functions.

So, we have that function in that Codeunit which name is UPDATE_SALESLINE. Inside this Codeunit function we have a call to another function CHECK_DIM_VALUES (never called by WS, but used only inside Codeunit); this CHECK_DIM_VALUES is used by UPDATE_SALESLINE and other functions on this Codeunit.

So … we suspect that if we put as local parameter on CHECK_DIM_VALUES for example SalesLinePar pointing to Record SalesLine, the WS has a problem that do not liked. If we define parameters as Values, Text, Code, Dec, etc.… it seems fine. But functions with Record parameters, which are called by other Codeunit functions which are used by WS, it seems that is impossible, and we suspect that is the reason of the reported error by us.

Do you know any restrictions on this kind of coding? Is there any restriction that not allow to code record as parameter in a function on WS Codeunits, functions which are only used inside Codeunit ? Is seems that when UPDATE_SALESLINE is running, and call inside the function code another function and this one has Record parameter, the WS is turning confused to pass record parameters ...

Hope I were more clear now.

Tks in advance.

Ok I think I got your point.

Here is what you need to do -

If you are exposing any Codeunit as WebService then it hardly matters which method is getting consumed, If you have any parameter as Record Parameter in your exposed Codeunit then it violates the protocol and it will not work. So if any function in that Codeunit has Record Parameter then change it. It will solve your case.

Hi

I suspected that. Do you know where we can download some information/documents of Microsoft, where we can see the restrictions/Protocol for WS ( Codeunit and Pages )?

Best tks.
