IDL Extractor for NATURAL

[img]I have setup a NATURAL RPC Server running on mainframe (VSE) with Broker also on mainframe.
When I try to connect and extract IDL I get a garbage screen. No error, no library listings.
I can ping Broker from my PC. I have added 4 libs to Steplib for SYSTEM: SYSIDL, SYSRPC, SYSEXT, SYSLIBS.
What am I missing? Thanks
Popup box says IDL Extractor for NATURAL as title. Body has a RED X and text "For input string “xxxx”. where xxxx are some weird characters.

Hi MIke,
maybe you forgot to enable conversion for this service in the attribute file.

Hi,
If you have a supported Natural version, you do not need to configure STEPLIBs. To configure steplibs for IDL extraction is a really old thing. It was kicked out in EntireX 15-20 years ago. Maybe your setup causes the problem. Try a simple Natural RPC Server. As Rolf mentioned, keep an eye on conversion.
