Re: Data-into countprefix

Steve,

The way your DS is defined, you will always get a 0 in num_count. This is
because there is no array in your DS named "count". I assume you want the
number of "transactions" so change your count subfield to
num_transactions. Because a DS can have multiple arrays/ds arrays, your
counter variable MUST share the name of the array that you want a count of.

Hope that helps,

Subject: Data-into countprefix

I have the following json ds & the data-into

Dcl-ds result qualified;
success ind;
num_count int(10);
Dcl-ds transactions dim(500);
transaction_id varchar(20);
transaction_type varchar(20);
amount packed(10:2);
Dcl-ds billing_address;
name varchar(80);
End-ds;
Dcl-ds created;
at varchar(25);
by varchar(40);
End-ds;
End-ds;
End-ds;

Clear result;
data-into result %Data(outFile
:'doc=file case=any allowmissing=yes -
allowextra=yes countprefix=num_')
%PARSER('YAJLINTO');

I then check result.num_count > 0;
but it comes back as 0, yet there are 17 transactions.

I do a similar check in another program & the result.num_count works.

I am missing something, but I don't see it :-(
