Restricting String Length in WSDL Documents
Restricting String Length in WSDL Documents
Currently, a DDL field defined as pic X(50) gets mapped to a schema data type
xsd:string. To pass this field (of a maximum length of 50), this feature puts a restriction
on the data type, limiting it to a length no greater than that accepted by the DDL field.
Example 4-37 shows the current and new length-restricted schemas generation for this
DDL definition:
?DICT
DEF emp-details.
02 emp-num PIC 9999.
02 emp-name PIC X (50).
END.
The restriction on the length of the string is applied for all DDL data types that can be
defined with a variable length and map to a string schema type.
