Re: DATA-INTO error using YAJLINTO

Mark,

When you use DATA-INTO, your RPG definition must match your JSON definition.  In this case, the "Data" field in the JSON is an array of character strings, but you've coded it as a data structure in the RPG.  You would only use a data structure in the RPG if the JSON was an object, not when it's an array of strings.

I think you probably want this?

dcl-ds MyData qualified;
   Code     varchar(  5 ) ;
   Message  varchar( 50 ) ;
   num_Data     int( 10 ) ;
   Data char(50) dim(50);
end-ds;

 I'm trying to use DATA-INTO using YAJLINTO.  It's based on one of Scott's examples. (https://www.common.org/scotts-iland-blog/parsing-json-data-into/).

 This is the test code:

dcl-s json varchar(5000) Inz(
  '{"Code":400,"Message":"Error","Data":["ConsigneeAddress.Zip -+
    Validation failed for property."]' ) ;

dcl-s Msg   varchar( 47 ) ;
dcl-s x         int( 10 );

dcl-ds MyData qualified;
   Code     varchar(  5 ) ;
   Message  varchar( 50 ) ;
   num_Data     int( 10 ) ;

   dcl-ds Data  dim( 50 ) ;
      *N       char( 50 ) ;
   end-ds;
end-ds;

data-into MyData %DATA( json: 'case=any countprefix=num_ +
                                allowextra=yes' )
           %PARSER( 'YAJLINTO' );

Msg = MyData.Message ;
dsply ( 'Code: ' + MyData.Code ) ;
dsply ( 'Msg: '  + Msg ) ;
dsply ( 'Num: '  + %EditC( MyData.num_Data:'1' ) ) ;
for x = 1 to MyData.num_Data ;
  dsply MyData.Data( x ) ;
endfor;

*INLR = *On ;

 If I have allowextra=yes I receive RNX0356 The document for the DATA-INTO operation does not match the RPG variable; reason code 15.

Cause . . . . . :   While parsing a document for the DATA-INTO operation, the
  parser found that the document does not correspond to RPG variable "mydata"
  and the options do not allow for this. The reason code is 15. The exact
  subfield for which the error was detected is "mydata". The options are
  "case=any countprefix=num_ allowextra=yes". The document name is *N; *N
  indicates that the document is not an external file. The parser is
  'YAJLINTO'. *N indicates that the parser is a procedure pointer.

Reason code 15: A call to QrnDiStartArray was made, but the matching RPG variable or
  subfield is not an array.

___________

 Without allowextra=yes it points to reason code 5, which is:
The document contains extra names that do not match subfields.
___________

 Is this because the Data array is not named?  If yes, is there a way around this?
