Passing the output parameters to invoke a service function

All the output parameters of an interface function have to be passed as
dummy input parameters when invoking the service if the function has more than 1 output parameter.

The function as of the interface looks like
function testFn(inParm int in, outParm1 int out, outParm2 int out, outParm3 int out, _return int out){@xml {name="testFn"}};


The current scenario is: to define and pass all the input parameters (needed) and the output + return parameters (not needed) just to call it, e.g.
inParm int; /*needed*/

//Galal: All the coming variables are not really needed
dummyOutParm1, dummyOutParm2, dummyOutParm3, dummyReturn int;

call iservice1.testFn(inParm, dummyOutParm1, dummyOutParm2, dummyOutParm3, dummyReturn)
returning to callBackFn
onException servicelib.serviceExceptionHandler;



The expectation is: to define and pass only the input parameters, like this
inParm int; /*needed*/

call iservice1.testFn(inParm)
returning to callBackFn
onException servicelib.serviceExceptionHandler;

    We have evaluated this request and determined that it won't be implemented at this time because that the output parameter can be eliminated in the first place. If the customer doesn't need output param, just don't define it in the service.

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.
