IIRC, a "web service" is SOAP based, which is a specially architected protocol based on HTTP. So, the answer is, if you want to write REXX sockets code to do this, then yes you can. If you mean, is there a simple way to do this in REXX, then no. There is a fairly simple way to do it in Java, however. And I know how to run a Java program from a REXX exec. For whatever good that may do you. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
