Using Service-Level Keywords and Values

A service definition must begin with the service=<NAME> keyword. Services using CARRAY, STRING, or XML buffer types should only have one parameter in the service. The recommended parameter name for a service that uses a CARRAY buffer type is CARRAY with carray as the data type. For a service that uses a STRING buffer type, the recommended parameter name is STRING with string as the data type. For a service that uses a XML buffer type, the recommended parameter name is XML with xml as the data type.

The following table contains the guidelines for use of the service-level keywords and acceptable values for each.
