Re: JSON and the IFS

[Kevin Turner <kevin.turner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From what I can gather in this case the issue is fairly obvious to the naked eye although Booth has yet to confirm that it is the braces ({}) or other chars.

If your job ccsid is 37 (using the US example) and your source files is ccsid 37 then what you key in will look fine in the source and any file you spew out to the IFS, but that doesn't mean that it actually is correct when converted by Apache to (for example) UTF-8. We never hardcode those characters for that reason. It would be useful to see what Booth gets on the browser and if indeed it is the braces that are screwed.
