Don,
Does the return code change?
This is what I do.
// Rate Response From API Call
Dcl-ds RateResponse Qualified;
cnt_accessorials Int(5);
Dcl-ds accessorials Dim(50);
code Char(10);
name VarChar(100);
amount Packed(7 : 2);
End-Ds;
Bla-Bla-Bla
End-Ds;
// Rate Results From API Call - Service Not Available
Dcl-ds ErrorResponse Qualified;
cnt_errors Int(5);
Dcl-ds errors Dim(20);
code Char(20);
message VarChar(100);
End-Ds;
End-Ds;
rc = http_post_stmf( RateURL
: RequestFile
: ResponseFile
: HTTP_TIMEOUT
: HTTP_USERAGENT
: 'application/json' );
Select;
// Load Response If No Error
When Rc = 1;
Clear RateResponse;
Monitor;
// Parse Response JSON Rates Doc Using YAJL
data-into RateResponse %DATA(ResponseFile
: 'doc=file case=any countprefix=cnt_ allowmissing=yes allowextra=yes')
%PARSER('YAJLINTO');
// Unable To Shop
When Rc = 400
Or Rc = 503;
Clear Errorcode;
If Rc = 400;
Clear ErrorResponse;
Monitor;
// Parse Response JSON Rates Doc Using YAJL
data-into ErrorResponse %DATA(ResponseFile
: 'doc=file case=any countprefix=cnt_ allowmissing=yes allowextra=yes')
%PARSER('YAJLINTO');
End-Sl;

Subject: External DATA-INTO - Different JSON depending on succeed or fail
CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
Hi
We are dealing with a new provider and are consuming their service.
They reply with two completely different JSON formats depending if the request is successful or not. And neither are named.
For example
if error found on the request , then the return data provides the response details
{
"responseType": "executeQuery",
"responseTime": 1669597839789,
"responseCode": 104,
"errorCode": 0,
"message": "Parameter Error: Custom Report Exception: Parameter
2022-11-10 :00:00 and 2022-11-10 23:59:59 must be timestamps in the format YYYY-DD-MM HH:MM:SS"
}
Whereas if the request is successful we get an array of data
[
{ "RequestedDate":"2022-11-10", ....... },
{ "RequestedDate":"2022-11-11", ....... },
{ ... }
]
So what we are doing is attempting a DATA-INTO into the successful data structure and if that fails attempting to load into the response data structure.
While this works I was just wondering if there is a better option to be able to determine which response received and therefore retrieve into the respective data structure rather than the trial and error approach
Thanks for any suggestions
Don
