Now on to our current topic **Calling a Sage X3 Subprogram from asp.net** ...

The wsdl for the X3 web services is below, where x3v6prmp23.rkldev.local is the server name where the web services are hosted.

## Calling Subprogram Sage X3 Web Services

### Create the Call Context

Refer to the post, [Day 4 – Calling a Sage ERP X3 Object from ASP.Net](https://www.rklesolutions.com/blog/5-days-of-sage-erp-x3-web-services-day-4/), for instructions on creating the Call Context.

### Call the Web Service

The example below is based on calling a Sage ERP X3 Web Service that was generated from a custom sub-program. Refer to the post [Day 2 – Creating X3 Web Services](https://www.rklesolutions.com/blog/5-days-sage-erp-x3-web-services-day-2/) for instructions on creating a custom sub-program and exposing it as a web service. The code sample below displays the .net code used to call the web service.

1. 1. The first step will be to construct the XML parameter list to make the web service call. This will vary based on the parameters defined in the custom web service. The example below is based on web service ZWSCUSTLIS. As shown below, the parameters passed into the web service are UPDDAYS and CUSTID. The results will include an array of up to 2000 customers.
        
        <https://www.rklesolutions.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/WebServices141-2.jpg>
     2. The XML Parameter string will be constructed as shown below, to match the required parameters for the subprogram call.

<PARAM>

    <FLD NAME="UPDDAYS" >30</FLD>

    <FLD NAME="CUSTID" > </FLD>

</PARAM>

1. Call the Web Service

Below is a snippet of the .net code required to call the web service. The web service will return an xml string containing the call results. This string can be parsed to extract the details of the call.

public  
List<X3_Account_List> GetAccounts(int iUpdateDays, string sAcctId)  
{  
  List<X3_Account_List> lsAccts = new  
List<X3_Account_List>(); 

 // Initialize Connection Values

 X3DataAccessConn.CallContextClass oCallContext = _connDetails.GetCallContext();

// Complete call context   
oCallContext.CallContext.requestConfig = "adxwss.trace.on=off&adxwss.trace.size=16384&adonix.trace.on=off&adonix.trace.level=3&adonix.trace.size=8";

 // Build Input XML with Parameters  
  StringBuilder xmlInput = new  
StringBuilder("");  
  xmlInput.Append("<PARAM>");  
xmlInput.AppendFormat("<FLD NAME="{0}">{1}</FLD>", "UPDDAYS", iUpdateDays.ToString());  
xmlInput.AppendFormat("<FLD NAME="{0}">{1}</FLD>", "CUSTID", sAcctId);  
xmlInput.Append("</PARAM>");

// Call web service  
oCallContext.ResultXML = oCallContext.WebService.run(oCallContext.CallContext, "ZWSCUSTLIS", xmlInput.ToString());  
  string result = "";  
  foreach (X3WebService.CAdxMessage msg in oCallContext.ResultXML.messages)  
{  
result += msg.message.ToString() + "^";  
}

// Success  
 if (result.Length == 0)  
{  
 string xml = oCallContext.ResultXML.resultXml.ToString();  
   lsAccts = ExtractAccts(xml);  
}

return lsAccts;  
}  
  public  
CallContextClass GetCallContext()  
{  
  // Initialize connection values  
  CAdxCallContext callContext = new  
CAdxCallContext();  
  CAdxWebServiceXmlCCService webService = new  
  CAdxWebServiceXmlCCService();  
  CAdxParamKeyValue[] paramKey = new  
  CAdxParamKeyValue[1];  
  CAdxResultXml resultXML = new  
  CAdxResultXml();  
callContext.codeLang = _x3Language; // Connection language  
callContext.codeUser = _x3User; // X3 user  
callContext.password = _x3Pwd; // X3 password  
callContext.poolAlias = _x3WSPool; // Connection pool name

CallContextClass context = new  
CallContextClass(callContext, webService, paramKey, resultXML);  
return context;  
}
