And Pete,

if you want to do JSON why don't you use either Mihael's JSON utility or my
powerEXT Core

http://www.rpgnextgen.com/index.php?content=json

or mine is at the bottom

Both are completely free

Pete,

I think you need to close the file after creating it then open it again
for output something like this:

fd = open('/ads2datanfs/ads001.txt':
O_CREAT+O_WRONLY+O_CODEPAGE+O_APPEND:
S_IWUSR+S_IRUSR+S_IRGRP+S_IROTH:
437);
callp close(fd);
fd = open('/ads2datanfs/ads001.txt':
O_WRONLY+O_TEXTDATA+O_APPEND);

Subject: Re: Interesting results when writing to an IFS file

Just to give a bigger picture:

I am using the following D specs to set the values:

D q S 1A Varying
D Inz('"')
D c S 1A Varying
D Inz(',')
D sc S 3A Varying
D Inz('":"')
D lb S 1A Varying
D Inz('{')
D rb S 1A Varying
D Inz('}')
D lc S 1A Varying
D Inz(' ')


The file is opened with the following (snippet):

c eval fd = open('/tmp/' + %trim(INFile) :
c O_CREAT+O_TRUNC+O_CODEPAGE+O_WRONLY:
c S_IRWXU+S_IRWXG+S_IROTH: 819)

A variable called line is then concatenated with the values:

Line = lc + lb + q + 'msgtxt' + sc + msgtxt + q + c +
q + 'msgid' + sc + RCVM0200.MsgID + q + c +
q + 'jobName' + sc + RCVM0200.SndJobNam + q + c +
q + 'jobUser' + sc + RCVM0200.SndJobUsr + q + c +
q + 'jobNumber' + sc + RCVM0200.SndJobNbr + q + rb ;

And the written to the file:

len = %len(%trimr(line));
callp write(fd: %addr(line): len);


but the "} and ": character sequences end up with unexpected values in
the string.

Using the hex constants for the curly braces made no difference in the
output.

Same result. I don't think it is an artifact of edtf because if I map
the folder in Windows and view the file, I see the "weird" characters
as
well in wordpad.

Looks like ": also formats to a strange character as well ('s w').

Pete,

It seems a character mapping error.... What happens if you use the
hex
value for the curly braces (e.g. } = x'D0' ) ?
