Re: Data-Gen using YAJLDTAGEN

Thanks Scott and Jon for your explanation.

My JSON string was sent to a third party, they processed it and returned a
JSON response with an error message saying the transaction could not be
processed.

I looked at their response JSON string, and it did not have the escape
characters, so I reached the (erroneous) conclusion that I was doing
something wrong.

I used the online JSON parser, and it was able to parse MY string (with
escape characters) correctly, whereas it gave an error on the third-party
string (without escape characters).

I will follow up with my third-party.

Vinay.

Well, they are not "instead of" your strings - they appear to be the
UTF-16 encoding of your strings. Need to see your data definitions and the
invocation of DATA-GEN etc.

Hi,

I am using YAJLDTAGEN generator to generate JSON string in RPG.

My data has some control characters like x'1C', x'1D' and x'1E' embedded
within other printable characters.

The final JSON string has some other characters instead of my control
characters.

x'1C' is converted to '\u001C' (hex equivalent x'E0A4F0F0F1C3').
x'1E' is converted to '\u001E' (hex equivalent x'E0A4F0F0F1C5').

Is there any way this can be avoided? I want my data to be unchanged in

the

JSON string.

TIA
Vinay
