Parameter types allowed

viperk

Hi,

I can't find any specification about what parameter types that are allowed in a code unit that is published as a web service.

Is the DotNet type not allowed at all? i've tried to publish code units that has sortedlists and DataTables as parameters, but when i try to download the contract i get an error in the eventlog:

Service:
User:
Type: System.NotSupportedException

I assume that complex datatypes are not allowed like blobs, dotnet, automation, records (extension codeunits only). Exception is XMLPort.

GoMaD

I have the same problem with a function that has a BigText as parameter.

At one customer this works (version 32012)
at another customer it doesn't work (version 32198).

There is NO difference in coding between the two customers.

Can somebody please explain this??????

--- EDIT ---

The answer was: in a local function an automation was a paramater, this caused the error.
