Re: Base64 decode

Hi all,
I had the same need, so at first, I tried SQL native function. For some
reason that I couldn't explain, when I had to end the job (a batch job) it
took ages (literally, more than 10 minutes) to end. Then I tried SK
routines.
That's how I am successfully using it:

dcl-s b64EncodedVar char(64);
dcl-s b64DecodedVarUtf8 char(64) ccsid(1208); // utf-8
dcl-s b64DecodedVarLen uns(10);
dcl-s userName char(20);

docNode = YAJL_string_load_tree(requestData.data: errMsg);
if errMsg = '';
node = YAJL_object_find(docNode : 'username');
b64EncodedVar = YAJL_get_string(node);
b64DecodedVarLen = base64_decode(
%addr(b64EncodedVar)
: %len(%trim(b64EncodedVar))
: %addr(b64DecodedVarUtf8)
: %size(b64DecodedVarUtf8)
);
username = %subst(b64DecodedVarUtf8: 1: b64DecodedVarLen);
endif;

Hope it helps.

Do I define them with specific CCSIDs?

It's been a while since I've had to decode something... I'm consuming a

is

SOAP XML and returns a corresponding XML response encoding=UTF-8.


I've tried using Scott Klement's Base64 service program... I'm not
getting

an error, but the resulting value is blank?


Do I need to do something with the data before decoding?


TIA
