Re: json_table(httpgetclob, nested array

Totally agree.  In fact I used a web-based screen as the model for this 
5250 program.  The design goal is to consume .json with 5250 and to 
present a more modern user experience.

My thinking is that 5250 shops with no intentions of going away from a 
text-based system can, and probably should, consider efforts to move 
past 1980's cram-the-screens-with-data and do-it-all-at-once workflow 
models.  Dropdown boxes, push buttons, scrollbars, and other 
mouse-friendly features are no longer radical new cutting edge ideas.

A few days ago I asked if anyone is still writing 5250 programs and was 
assured that yes, it's still happening in a big way. Therefore, it 
appears to me that finding ways to bring 5250 into the 1990s, if not the 
21st Century, is a reasonable goal.

Plus it keeps me out of the back alleys and beer halls.  I had fun doing 
this.
