Re: json_table(httpgetclob, nested array

raw:

{"wData_length":14,"SeasOceans":["Adriatic Sea","Arctic Ocean","Atlantic Ocean","Bay of Bengal","Caribbean Sea", ...]

formatted:

wData_length 14
SeasOceans
0 "Adriatic Sea"
1 "Arctic Ocean"
2 "Atlantic Ocean"
3 "Bay of Bengal"
4 "Caribbean Sea"


The array is 100 elements, of which only 14 have data.

What does the JSON look like Booth? Kinda hard to map without knowing what it looks like.

I am consuming json data with a numeric field and with a 100-element array. I get the numeric field OK but the array fails. It looks like I need to use "nested" but every way I have tried to use it fails.

exec sql select "SeasOceans" into :wSeas
from json_table(systools.httpgetclob(:wURL, ''), '$'
columns(
nested '$.Oceans[*]'
columns("SeasOceans" varchar(20) ) ) error on error );


I am using an SQLRPGLE program for this and asked about this last week on the RPG list with no response.
