After looking at your code some more I think I realized another aspect of
what you are doing.  On this line:

jsoRecWrt('ITEM':itemrec@);

Does that do some sort of DSPFFD to obtain the layout of the record and then
"parse" the record to put into the JSON data stream?  I did something
similar for an EDI web app at a previous employer and totally forgot about
it.
