Re: Help receiving JSON into CGI program -- WEB400

Alvin,

This error means that your program is attempting to use a newer subprocedure from YAJL (in this context, the subprocedure is referred to by the confusing name "Program import") but that it doesn't exist.

Normally this means you created your program with a newer version of YAJL, but are trying to run it with an older one.

For example, your development environment may have a newer one, and the QA or production environment may have an older one, etc.

Brad,
Our attempt to parse JSON is failing before getting to the CGI program. It
is throwing the following message in the job log. We aren't sure how to
troubleshoot. We are compiling the module, then creating the program and
immediately trying to test. Any thoughts or pointers(No pun intended) would
be greatly appreciated.

The data should be decoded when read in using YAJL.

Here a link to a series I did a while back:

We have been providing some web services by receiving simple not
encoded comma delimited lists in CGI programs and responding with
Scott Klement's version of YAJL. This has been working well for us for

several years.

Now we need to do a few more complicated things including receiving
names and addresses with spaces and punctuation. We found in testing
that these fields come to our RPG program encoded. We thought that if
the data was sent as a JSON payload that we could then process it.
However, we don't really understand how to get the decoded JSON
payload from the web to our RPG program We have done significant
research, but are not really web programmers. Can someone offer us a
solution or maybe share a configuration and/or a program where a JSON
payload is successfully passed to RPG from CGI?

Thanks,

Alvin
