I am consuming json data with a numeric field and with a 100-element array. I get the numeric field OK but the array fails. It looks like I need to use "nested" but every way I have tried to use it fails.

         exec sql select "SeasOceans" into :wSeas
           from json_table(systools.httpgetclob(:wURL, ''), '$'
             columns(
                 nested '$.Oceans[*]'
                   columns("SeasOceans" varchar(20) ) ) error on error );

I am using an SQLRPGLE program for this and asked about this last week on the RPG list with no response.
