Re: RPG, retrieving JSON data from a web service

This is beyond my ken.   I am totally confused.

This is the code that I believe defines the JSON data for the example (I do not see "success" as being a field in the JSON file.):

     D list_t          ds                  qualified
     D                                     template
     D   inv                          5a
     D   date                         8s 0
     D   name                        25a
     D   amount                       9p 2
     D   weight                       9p 1

Here is the code from JSONREAD2.rpgle that I believe defines "success":

     D result          ds                  qualified
     D   success                      1n
     D   errmsg                     500a   varying
     D   list likeds(list_t) dim(999)

Here is my current stream of thought: docNode has a value that looks to me like a pointer to an address. There is a blank errMsg and therefore I believe YAJL sees the data. Next, "node = YAJL_object_find(docMode: 'errmsg');" has 'errMsg' in apostrophes, which strikes me as odd so that sent me down another rabbit hole. I changed 'errMsg' to errMsg and then to result.success and those led to even more confusion.

However you look at it, there is no field in the file named "success". There was in my example that you copied it from, but there isn't a field named "success" in your example.  So asking YAJL for a field named success will return *NULL...  make sense?
