Re: DATA-GEN with YAJLDTAGEN and EXTNAME, option to convert case?

Scott,

The point is I don't have to type them with EXTNAME...

dcl-ds image extname('MYLIB/MYFILE') alias end-ds;
data-gen image %DATA(jsonMsg) %GEN('YAJL72/YAJLDTAGEN');

FYI: (I'm dealing with a trigger buffer here)

I'd hope for two lines of code and done. Since the long names in our table
use underscores, ex QTY_ON_HAND, I was hoping for a way to have it added to
the JSON as "qty_on_hand":0, rather than "QTY_ON_HAND":0

I can live with all caps :)

Charles,

If you have a field defined in a file like CUSTNAME how should DATA-GEN
know whether you want it to be CUSTNAME, CustName, Custname or custname?

An option like case=convert doesn't seem like it could work here. It'd
have to have detail for the capitalization of all of the fields
everywhere in the document, not just a general-purpose directive like
'convert it for me'.

Since you have to type them all, anyway, why not type the actual data
structure instead of using EXTNAME? I don't see how the external
definition is buying you anything.

All,

working with DATA-GEN using Scott's awesome YAJLDTAGEN.

Problem I have is that the DS I'm passing to YAJLDTAGEN is defined with
EXTNAME(MYFILE) alias;

So I'm seeing long names in my JSON doc, but they are in all caps.

It doesn't appear that "case=convert" is an option for DATA-GEN like it

is

for DATA-INTO.

Is there some other way to get the generated JSON doc to use the

lowercase

versions of the table names?

Thanks!
Charles Wilt
