Documentation needs to be completed - var types not defined in here.

[jsanguin]

Code examples on how to invoke an RPGLE program make reference to a variable type, but there is no list of the supported types.

Documentation should include the supported types and their mapping from RPG.

Found the following link contains what I need, but others might be looking around without any luck. http://www.youngiprofessionals.com/wiki/index.php/XMLService/DataTypes

Thanks

I agree this information would be handy. This PR would be handy as well which adds wrappers to the data types:
