Did you try this: Real's how to - Get data from the Internet?
I use a slight variation of the same concept:

internetresult uo_result  
inet iinet_base  
long ll_ret  
string ls_url  

ll_ret = GetContextService("Internet", iinet_base)  
IF ll_ret < 0 then  
    MessageBox("Error", "Error...", StopSign!)  
    Return  
End IF  

uo_result = CREATE uo_internetresult  
ll_ret = iinet_base.geturl(ls_url, uo_result)

etc.

It isn't possible to consume WCF web services using PB11.5.

If you can add new code to the project then I think you could create a workaround. I don't have sample code but you can create a .NET assembly using Visual Studio and .NET 3.5 (PB11.5 doesn't support .NET 4) that acts as a proxy to your WCF web service, then you can use the new assembly in your PB11.5 program.

You can use wizard in power builder for proxy creation.

In that wizard you just need to input url of wcf service
Select .net then create a proxy
use that proxy in code
