Re: Get latitude/longitude from address for free

SQL has a "... from json_table(systools.httpgetclob(:URL, ..."
function. A fairly simple RPG program will get that info for you if you
find a web service you like. Then you're good from then on.

working/available.

This is essentially a one-time need in bulk. In a normal month we'll

need

5 or 6 done and just do it by googling.

It would be great if SQL had something like this to embed in RPG (excuse

if

the syntax is off):

Select Latitude, Longitude Into :lat, :long From https://geocodeforfree
Where Address = :address

but that ain't gonna happen.

Thanks.
