Re: QtmWrStout parameters

I wouldn't build JSON from scratch... instead I'd use YAJL to build it. Or
there are built newer functions where you can actually use data structures
to build the JSON I believe. (I only use YAJL and build JSON that way).

YAJL also does include a function to take that JSON you just built and
write it to StdOut. Here's an example:

In example of how to use QtemWrStout Scott Klement builds the following:

jsonName = %scanrpl( '"': '\"': row.name );
jsonDate = %char( %date( row.date: *iso ): *iso );
data = %char(LBRACE) + CRLF
+ ' "invno": "' + row.inv + '",' + CRLF
+ ' "date": "' + jsonDate + '",' + CRLF
+ ' "name": "' + %trim(jsonName) + '",' + CRLF
+ ' "amount": "' + %char(row.amount) + '",' + CRLF
+ ' "weight": "' + %char(row.weight) + '"' + CRLF
+ %char(RBRACE);
QtmhWrStout(data: %len(data): err);

Simple enough, but can the "data" variable be a data structure instead.
The idea being that all the constants are defined in the data structure and
then to fill in the actual data the only need would be to be assigned from
a database read or input variable.
