[CLOSED] RESTful Web Service ibfsrpc Success Response for IBIRS_action=run possible?

I am not a web developer but I'm trying to muddle my through issuing a series of restful requests to run a fex. Each request runs the same fex with a different parameter value. The fex file generates an Active HTML dashboard file.

I can successfully issue the request and get the fex to run, creating the HTML files in the app HTML folder, with a URL like this
  
http://servername:8080/ibi_app...&MY_PARAM_VAL=123456


The response from the server is as follows, which is correct since the fex is using app hold and saving the HTML file in an app directory.:
  
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>WebFOCUS Message[42]:  NO EDA HTML Output</TITLE>
</Head>
<Body>
<HR><H3>
Your request did not return any output to display.<p>
Possible causes:<br>
- No data rows matched the specified selection criteria.<br>
- Output was directed to a destination such as a file or printer.<br>
- An error occurred during the parsing or running of the request.
</H3><HR>
<PRE>
<H5>
 0 NUMBER OF RECORDS IN TABLE=      273  LINES=    273
 0 HTML FILE SAVED ...
</H5>





I can test for errors, since when an error occurs, the ibfsrpc XML object is returned with the 'returncode' attribute which describes the error. My question is whether there is a way to have the same object returned when the fex runs successfully with a success code? I've seen it as follows, when a report caster schedule is submitted via restful call:
 
 	if(xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('ibfsrpc')[0].getAttribute('returncode') == '10000') {
	 	alert('Report Submitted Successfully');
	} else {
		alert(xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('ibfsrpc')[0].getAttribute('returncode') + ' - ' + xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('ibfsrpc')[0].getAttribute('returndesc'));
 	}


Problem is I just get the HTML results shown first instead of the ibfsrpc XML with a successful return code like with the report caster call.

Does anyone know if it is possible to have an ibfsrpc object returned with IBIRS_action=run requests? Any info or suggestions much appreciated. I am trying to avoid having to parse that HTML that comes back on a successful run.

thanks!
