-help

Displays information about ls2ws parameters.

Examples:

Example 1

The following command uses the incpy.cpy request copybook and the outcpy.cpy response copybook to communicate with the comml1 CICS program, and generates the mywsdl.wsdl WSDL file and the mywsbind.wsbind Web service bind file:

ls2ws pgmname=comml1 
      pgmint=channel 
      reqmem=incpy.cpy 
      respmem=outcpy.cpy 
      wsdl=mywsdl.wsdl 
      wsbind=mywsbind.wsbind 
      uri=/mysvc/operation

Example 2

The following command uses the set1.cpy request copybook to communicate with the set1 CICS program, and generates the set1.wsdl WSDL file and the set1.wsbind Web service bind file that each contain a newly defined operation named newOperation:

ls2ws pgmname=set1 
      pgmint=commarea 
      reqmem=set1.cpy 
      wsdl=set1.wsdl 
      wsbind=set1.wsbind 
      uri=/mysvc/operation 
      operation-name=newOperation
