Re: Convert DS/Record to JSON

[Aaron Bartell <aaronbartell@xxxxxxxxx>]

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.
