Re: Convert DS/Record to JSON

Concerning converting data, here is what I do to make it easier. I
basically ask for a piece of data, supply the format it is in, and a default
to use if the parsing fails.


PERNBR = http_getCgiNbr('PERNBR': *omit: 0);

SSN = http_getCgiNbr('SSN': '111-22-3333': 0);

DOB = http_getCgiDate('DOB': 'yyyy-MM-dd': d'0001-01-01');

Outside of that, I have no idea what you meant in your response because it
is all dealing in vague theories.

Hi Aaron,

well you may argue that any statement written in non binary code is a
blackbox,
but .... whenever you create a method or subprocedure - and specially
where we
talk about data conversion - and the input to the method/subprocedure
becomes more
complicated that doing the same job in plain code (as you go along and is
extending
it to your needs) you are actually BOAC (better of a camel) ;-)

Re: [WEB400] Convert DS/Record to JSON






I guess at this point I am lost, because I thought you were in
disagreement
of creating black boxes that cover a lot of functionality (i.e. the 80% I
was talking about). But it seems your boxes are even blacker than mine if
you are at 95%. Maybe you could explain a scenario of what you mean by
95/5
% - we might be in full agreement when it is all said and done.

Hi Aaron,

I guess so, but I have also success with my 95/5 % rule and that is
with programmers who's comfort zone is QCLSRC and QRPGSRC ;-)
