What your doing seems a complicated way to do it to me. Try something like import xmlrpclib s=xmlrpclib.Server('http://your.server.address') results=s.operate.xmlrpc.prd_sql_method(1,'1996-01-02') if len(results)>0: print 'we found records' else: print "we didn't find records" for record in results: print record[0] # print the first field Note that xmlrpc doesn't allow named parameters they must be positional. hth Phil On Saturday 05 May 2001 06:38, Olaf Zanger wrote:

hi there,

after searching for 2 hours i try the community know-how.

i want to access a ZSQL Method "prd_sql_method" with parameters: "fac_id_only:int" and "date:string" by xmlrpc.

right now i do:

s=xmlrpclib.Server('http://sino/ip')

dict={} dict['fac_id_only']=1 dict['date']='1996-01-02' s.Zope.operate.xmlrpc.prd_sql_method() y[] for x in s: y.append(x) return str(y)

----------------------------------------------- how do i get parameters in? --------------------------------------------------------- i get an error message: "Unexpected Zope error value: ['fac_id_only', 'date']"

-------------------------------------------------- how do i get results out? --------------------------------------------- got nothing yet :-)

thanks for help
