RE: Data-Into using YAJLINTO question -- RPG400-L

Tim - thanks for that... But that is exactly why I don't use SQL for this type of thing.

It may be clearer and cleaner to you, but it's clear as mud to me.

If you posted a sample of the JSON I could post the SQL to parse it, just as a comparison.

Here's an example I wrote a while back https://github.com/fathert/json-rpg-example/blob/master/invoice-extract.sql It tries to demonstrate what might be a typical parsing exercise, with header and detail data from some made up invoice data. It creates a test file with a JSON test structure for the invoice and it then uses three SQLs to extract the three different levels of nested data to three typical IBM i files.

To me it's far clearer and cleaner, but I guess it does depend on your level of familiarity with SQL.

Tim.

I've yet to see a real-world example using SQL that I could make sense of. To me, it's way more complicated. But I do hate the limitation of the data structure.

This is one of the reasons I think SQL is a much better choice.

Subject: Data-Into using YAJLINTO question

So I have some code that looks like this... my JSON order DS contains 100 elements.

dcl-c YAJLOPTS const ('{"document_name": "order", "value_null": "", +
"number_prefix": "YAJL_" }');

dcl-ds order qualified dim(100);
id varchar(10) inz('');
recordtype varchar(10) inz('');
external_id varchar(8) inz('');
name varchar(40) inz('');
........ more elements

clear order;
monitor;
Data-Into order %data(inStmf:RPGOPTS) %parser('YAJLINTO':YAJLOPTS);
on-error;
// Get Message Text
RcvPgmMsg( Error
: %len(Error)
: 'RCVM0200'
: '*'
: 0
: '*ESCAPE'
: ' '
: 0
: '*SAME'
: QUSEC);

ErrorMsg = %subst(Error.Message:Error.rcvm0200.qmhldrtn00 + 1);
RptLine(ErrorMsg);
status = -1;
return status;
endmon;

What happens when the JSON document contains 100, 200, or more? I guess I assumed there would be an error I could retrieve.

Any ideas??

TIA,
Greg
