Re: Dates received in JSON string

Since it appears that the format is consistent (e.g. relevant leading zeros are in place) then you should be able to simply substring out what you need and then convert it to the numeric format you need.

e.g. CYYMMDDnumber = %Dec( %Subst(JSONData: 1: 10): *CYMD );



The part after the + is a time zone adjustment - only you can determine if that needs to be applied to the time.

I am working on a new project and the first lot of test data i have
received includes date stamps in the format

"licence_expiry": "2020-01-01T07:53:00+00:00",

After a quick browse of the ILE RPG Reference I am not seeing any format
of the date data type that matches this format.

Am I just not looking hard enough or how would this be best processed in
ILE RPG ?

As this data will be going into an existing database the dates and times
are stored as numeric fields.

So I am really just wanting to retrieve the date and time values but I am
not understanding the last +00:00 ? Is this time zone or time offset
related ?

Thanks for any assistance
