Re: REST with JSON returned

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

   You want to use�http_url_get_raw().
   One of the parms is a procedure pointer, �that procedure is called
   with the data being returned. �   You need to write that procedure, in which you can simply save the
   returned data to a variable.�   Note that you're procedure will be called multiple times, once for each
   bit of data received.
   Also, the data passed to your procedure will be ASCII, so you'll
   probably want to convert it to EBCDIC.
   So you'll end up with something like so:
   �//Global Variables
   d Response � � � �s � � � �9999999a � varying
   � � � �Response = '';
   � � � �rc = http_url_get_raw(Url : 1 : %paddr(Process) : 60);
   � � � �//Do something with response, it is complete here
   p Process � � � � b
   D Process � � � � PI � � � � � �10I 0
   D � peFD � � � � � � � � � � � �10I 0 value
   D � peData � � � � � � � � � 65535A � options(*varsize)
   D � peLength � � � � � � � � � �10I 0 value
   � if peLength > 0;
   � � HTTP_xlate(peLength : peData : TO_EBCDIC);
   � � Response += %subst(peData : 1 : peLength);
   � ENDIF;
   � return peLength;
   p Process � � � � e
