Re: QtmWrStout parameters

Thanks Brad, I do use YAJL where I can, unfortunately some of my customers
don't keep up with PTFs, or Version/Release so I have to build one version
that is lacking. DATA-INTO etc are out for now at least in one version.

Maybe a better question is will YAJL go back to V5R4? I think V6R1 was the
oldest Scott set it up for.

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.
