RXS_GetJsonString()

This subprocedure retrieves JSON composed by RXS_CreateJson() and the other JSON composition subprocedures.

New in RXS 3.5.0:

Enhancements

  • Corrected an issue where retrieving a JSON string could sometimes enter a looping condition when certain hexadecimal characters were present in the composed JSON.

D   Prettify                      N   Inz(RXS_NO)

If set to RXS_YES, JSON retrieved with RXS_GetJsonString() will be formatted with whitespace to be "pretty" and more human readable. If set to RXS_NO, JSON will be returned in a compact form with as little whitespace as possible.

Valid Values:

  • RXS_YES
  • RXS_NO

Default Value: RXS_NO

D   JsonStructureType...
D                                 N   Inz(RXS_JSON_STRUCTURE_OBJECT)

If set to RXS_JSON_STRUCTURE_OBJECT, the JSON document being created will begin with a root JSON object. If set to RXS_JSON_STRUCTURE_ARRAY, it will begin with a root JSON array.

Valid Values:

  • RXS_JSON_STRUCTURE_OBJECT
  • RXS_JSON_STRUCTURE_ARRAY

Default Value: RXS_JSON_STRUCTURE_OBJECT

D   InputCcsid...
D                               10I 0 Inz(RXS_CCSID_JOB)

Specifies the CCSID of the data being passed into the JSON composition subprocedures. Default is job CCSID.

Default Value: RXS_CCSID_JOB

D   OutputCcsid...
D                               10I 0 Inz(RXS_CCSID_JOB)

Specifies the CCSID that the JSON will be output as from RXS_GetJsonString(). Default is job CCSID.

Default Value: RXS_CCSID_JOB

D   TrimVariables...
D                                 N   Inz(RXS_NO)

Determines whether to trim leading and trailing spaces from each value passed to RXS_ComposeJsonString() (RXS_YES), or to leave all spaces in place (RXS_NO).

Valid Values:

  • RXS_YES
  • RXS_NO

Default Value: RXS_NO
