<h1 class="topictitle1">Program Call Markup Language</h1>
|
|
<div><p>Program Call Markup Language (PCML) is a tag language that helps
|
|
you call server programs, with less Java™ code. </p>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>PCML is based upon the Extensible Markup Language (XML), a tag
|
|
syntax you use to describe the input and output parameters for server programs.
|
|
PCML enables you to define tags that fully describe server programs called
|
|
by your Java application.</p>
|
|
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> If you are interested
|
|
in or are already using PCML, consider using Extensible Program Call Markup
|
|
Language (XPCML). XPCML enhances the functionality and usability of PCML by
|
|
offering support for XML schemas. For more information about IBM<sup>®</sup> Toolbox for Java XML
|
|
components, including XPCML, see <a href="rzahhxmlmain.htm">Extensible
|
|
Markup Language components</a>.</div>
|
|
<p>A huge benefit of PCML is that
|
|
it allows you to write less code. Ordinarily, extra code is needed to connect,
|
|
retrieve, and translate data between a server and IBM Toolbox for Java objects. However, by using PCML, your
|
|
calls to the server with the IBM Toolbox for Java classes are automatically handled.
|
|
PCML class objects are generated from the PCML tags and help minimize the
|
|
amount of code you need to write in order to call server programs from your
|
|
application.</p>
|
|
<p>Although PCML was designed to support distributed program
|
|
calls to server program objects from a client Java platform, you can also use PCML to
|
|
make calls to a server program from within the server environment.</p>
|
|
<p>Refer
|
|
to the following pages for more information about using PCML: </p>

|
|
To build iSeries™ program calls with PCML, you must start by
|
|
creating a Java application and a PCML source file.</li>
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="pcmlsyn.htm">PCML syntax</a></strong><br />
|
|
PCML consists of the following tags, each of which has its own attribute tags.</li>

|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="pcmlex.htm">Examples: Program Call Markup Language (PCML)</a></strong><br />
|

The following examples use Program Call Markup Language to call i5/OS™ APIs,
|
|
and each one links to a page that shows the PCML source followed by a Java program.</li>
