Re: json and DS layout

By *default* you the nulls cannot be assigned to numeric fields because the default value for a null is '*NULL', which is a character string that can't be stored in a numeric field.

If you change the value (perhaps to 0 or -1, depending on your application) it can be assigned to a number without a problem.

Null values must go to alpha fields, not packed.
You need to check for 'null', if not change to decimal (%dec)

Hi All,

I am using YAJL to consume json from a web service.

It parses the first details element but crashes on the second.

What do I have defined incorrectly?

From json

"details": [
{
"handlingUnits": 1,
"class": "70",
"packaging": "SK",
"isHazardous": false,
"description": "DOOR",
"weight": 55,
"rate": null,
"charges": null
},
{
"handlingUnits": 0,
"class": "FS",
"packaging": "",
"isHazardous": false,
"description": "FUEL SURCHARGE 17.500%",
"weight": 0,
"rate": null,
"charges": null
}
],

My DS looks like

cnt_details Int(5);
Dcl-ds details Dim(25);
handlingUnits Packed(5 : 0);
class Char(5);
packaging Char(100);
isHazarddous Ind;
description Char(100);
weight Packed(5 : 0);
rate Packed(5 : 0);
charges Packed(7 : 2);
End-Ds;
