- You've created a low-code module, as shown below, with a routine named "routine1" that:

- Uses plug "Consume REST service" to issue a POST request to URL http://localhost:8081/run/pjstips/pjstips_02_3 (created in a previous example).
- The input "custno" is specified in the "body" of the POST request.
- The returned JSON object from the REST web service is saved in a work variable named "myres".
- The value of myres["name"] is used to set the output value output["name"].
