First try to use the URL_ENCODE and URL_DECODE Functions in the QSYS2 schema
(and no longer the functions in the SYSTOOLS library).
The functions in the QSYS2 library do not need JAVA and supports strings
longer than 2048 characters.
... and C is always faster than JAVA

Subject: Reg: URL Query String Encode and Decode in RPGLE
Hi All,
Currently, I am doing URL Query String Encode and Decode process using the
SYSTOOLS scalar function
exec sql set :EncodedString = SYSTOOLS.URLENCODE(:Input,'UTF-8');
exec sql set :DecodedString = SYSTOOLS.URLDECODE(:Input,'UTF-8');
When I see the performance metrics for these two SQL statements, it is
taking a minimum of 3 milliseconds to 6 milliseconds to process each
statement.
I tried using Scott Klement's URL Encode function http_setCCSIDs(1208:0);
EncodedString = http_urlEncode(Input);
Scott Klement's encode function is processing within a millisecond, but we
don't have a decoding function.
Could you please guide me to understand why the IBMi-provided function is
taking more time to process? Also, am I missing something in the SQL
statement which is causing the delay?
Regards,
Suren
