DATA-INTO where number of records not known -- MIDRANGE-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.

(Sorry, not sure if this is should be the RPG list only or the Midrange
list)

We are using data-into with YAJLINTO to process a json file we retrieve
from an external site using a web service.

The web service does not provide any options as to controlling the number
of records to be returned.

The json returned does not have an element for the number of records
provided.

If I put a count at the highest level will this be set correctly if the
number of records retrieved exceeds the array size ? And if yes how do I
then process the records past that point ?

I don't think the %handler option helps - well the way I read the doco it
wont.

How do I either check how many records have been returned or process a
json string that exceeds the number of elements in my receiving array ?

Thanks for all suggestions

Don
