Re: YAJL and very precise number

Peter,

Looks like Scott provided a solution. With the JSON parser I wrote, I felt
that the API would be much simpler if I had only 1 procedure return node
values as VARCHAR type, and let the RPG programmer use %float(), %dec(),
%int(), etc. to transform it to the appropriate data type. As a bonus, it
turned out that it performed something like 1
