I've been tasked with generating a JSON document that contains a PDF file. The PDF file must be Base64 encoded. I figure I can use the IFS API's to read in the PDF file, but I'm not sure about how to get it Base64 encoded.

The process is in RPG, but I'd be open to anything that can be practically called from RPG as well.

Any suggestions?

TIA
