Re: UTF-8 conversion in a REST program

That's it. I don't need it often, but it comes in handy on occasion.

Thanks

So what you is this ?

Dcl-s varInput varChar(65535) ;
Dcl-s varinputUTF8 like(varName) ccsid(*utf8) ;

if ContentType = 'application/json' or ContentType = 'application/vnd.api+json';
QtmhRdStin(varInputUTF8: RdiLen : RdiRecLen : APIErr);
varInput = varInputUTF8;
else;
QtmhRdStin(varInput: RdiLen : RdiRecLen : APIErr);
endif;

Thanks

Here is my code to so it. If you need a quick fix. There is other ways in YAJL to do it in one program

Thanks
