Thanks everyone. We are looking to integrate an application written in ABL to a back end that offers REST based web services. The samples we have calling these web services are based on C#. Their model includes all of the service calls we need as methods, so we are shielded from needing to really do much in ABL. My issue is that there are a number of things that I see in the C# code that don't seem to translate and in some cases are not supported by ABL. An example is the use of Generics.
