Jay,

I am cutting you some slack and trying to explain you're dong it wrong.
Don't put json data in the URI. Put it in standard input as a POST. Then
use yajl_stdin_load_tree() to read it in and parse it normally with YAJL.

You can choose to do it any way you like, I'm just telling you how you're
doing it is wrong. I'll quit trying to help if you want. It's not
personally buddy.

How are you reading it in? That's what I'm probably "missing" haha.

If you're using the YAJL function, or even just QtmhRdStin, I've never

seen

the data encoded as a POST.

well i just tried doing a POST instead of a GET with the exact same
criteria and it came across encoded as well...

so something you are missing Brad...

but I am good from here - thanks to all that helped me with this.

here is how i'm going to deal with it so that the front end guy

burdened with it...

in my rpgle pgm..

EVAL jsonINP
jsonINP =

....5...10...15...20...25...30...35...40...45...50...55...60

1 '%7B%22env%22:%22D3X%22,%22command%22:%22GET_L'
61

'OAN_BORROWER%22,%22payload%22:[%7B%22loanNumber%22:2428%7D]%'

121 '7D


jsonINP = %scanrpl('%7B'
:'{'
:jsonINP);

jsonINP = %scanrpl('%7D'
:'}'
:jsonINP);

jsonINP = %scanrpl('%22'
:'"'
:jsonINP);

and wala...

EVAL jsonINP
JSONINP =

....5...10...15...20...25...30...35...40...45...50...55...60

1

'{"env":"D3X","command":"GET_LOAN_BORROWER","payload":[{"loan'

61 'Number":2428}]}


sometimes just not worth the risk of leaving it up to others..

and

considering the fact i'm using a rather unorthodoxed way with

this

whole

process I better assume that responsibilty...

now last thing is to have the YAJL produce back out the generate

json

output and I'm done!

thanks Bradley - still not quite what i'm looking for...

i think i may just about have it with the SK yahlserver

setup...

so I can now reach my endpoint...

my iseries YAJL pgm gets called but there seems to be some

encoding

going

on that is throwing off my json string...

This is what I'm calling from ARC using the GET method...

/rest/wsr00000/{"env":"D3X","command":"GET_LOAN_BORROWER","payload":

[{"loanNumber":2428}]}

in debug over on the i, I get this interpretation of it...

EVAL l_url
L_URL =

....5...10...15...20...25...30...35...40...45...50...55...60

1

'/rest/wsr00000/%7B%22env%22:%22D3X%22,%22command%22:%22GET_L'

61

'OAN_BORROWER%22,%22payload%22:[%7B%22loanNumber%22:2428%7D]%'

121 '7D

how can I preserve the original string format of the json

input?

Ive tried enclosing the json input string in single quotes

but

no

luck.

I've also tried an escape version of the string with no

luck...

{\"env\":"D3X",\"command\":\"GET_LOAN_BORROWER\",\"payload\":
[{\"loanNumber\":2428}]}


any suggestions? almost there!

Jay
