using Odata4 to pass a variable by reference when calling a code unit

I am converting our code to communicate with Business Central using oData rather than SOAP to call pages, code units etc.

I am struggling with code units that require passing a parameter by reference - I can't figure out how to do this. Currently I am sending the parameters as json in HttpRequestMessage object's content. This works perfectly for code units that require normal parameters. However for parameters by reference, I get the error "Resource not found for the segment 'codeunit_functionName'". There is definitely nothing wrong with the name of the codeunit/function. The same error happens with any code unit requiring params by ref.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks @xgaronnat - unfortunately it is not my code unit, therefore I have no control over it

Hello,

Instead of codeunits, you should implement Bound Actions on Page API. You can see how it's done on standard General Journal API : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/api-reference/v2.0/resources/dynamics_journal#bound-actions
