RXS_ComposeJsonString()

This subprocedure is used to add a JSON string element to a parent JSON Object or Array.

Subprocedure Prototype

IBM i 7.1+

`D JSON_ComposeJsonString... D PR Extproc('JSON_ComposeJsonString') D Opdesc`
`D pName Const Like(RXS_Var64Kv_t) D Options(Omit:Varsize)`	Name to assign to JSON string data element. If being added to an array, the value of this parameter should be *OMIT.
`D pInput Like(RXS_Var16Mv_t) Const D Options(Omit:Varsize)`	Data to assign to JSON string data element.
`D pStructureDS Const LikeDS(RXS_JsonStructureDS_t) D Options(*Varsize)`	RXS_JsonStructureDS_t data structure containing a parent JSON Object or Json Array.

Example Code

Example 1: Create JSON object with string element
Example 2: Create JSON array with multiple string elements

*--------------------------------------------------------------
* This example creates a simple JSON object, adds a string data
* field to it, retrieves the created JSON, and then calls
* RXS_DestroyJson() to clean up.
