I have a simple .json file in the IFS:

* a counter for the number of states,
* and an array of states,
o and each state has a counter of the number of cities,
o and an array of cities.

4 fields in all.

Can that data be brought into an SQLRPGLE program using Get_CLOB_from_file()? I think I am seeing conflicting yes/no answers from people who know way more than I.

Either version 7.2 or version 7.3, if that is significant.
