Retrieving array of long with web service in SAS 9.2

[x97mdr]

Hey all,

I posted a question on stackoverflow.com but thought I would repicate it here to see if I can get more traffic on an answer! The original question is here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4736162/retrieving-an-array-of-values-from-a-web-service-with-sas...

I'm using SAS 9.2 and trying to retrieve an array of long values from a .NET web service. Here is my setup and call:

filename websvc url 'http://path.to/my/webservice?WSDL';
libname websvc xml92 xmltype=WSDL;

Data d;
dataSchema = "blah";
module = "blah";
run;

data strata;
SET websvc.GetStrataForModuleResponse(parms=d);
run;
The webservice returns XML like this when I invoke it manually without SAS:



1

note I snipped the xmlns stuff from the above snippet.

When I call the web service from SAS I get a dataset with 1 variable and 1 observation. The name of the variable is "datatype=string" and the value is blank. With the parameters I should get back exactly what I see above.

I would expect to see a dataset with 1 variable and 1 observation where the variable is named long and the value of the observation is 1.

Is there something I am missing here?

Thanks in advance!
