It looks like a server-server setup and somewhat similar to mine but I don't have to mess with form-encoding. Luckily HTTPAPI has that feature available although I've never needed to use it. There is at least one example that uses it in the LIBHTTP RPG sources. Scott is WAY more knowledgeable than m...

I have just finished working on this as Zoom has changed their APIs to use OAUTH2 instead of JWTs. For use by tools such as HTTPAPI Zoom has implemented a Server-Server application interface which is much easier to use than the call-back mechanism that some OAUTH2 users require. I would check with y...

You appear to be confusing milliseconds and microseconds. %Diff using *MSECONDS gives _ micro seconds_ not milliseconds. So dividing by 1,000,000 is correct. Two other points. First - if you want seconds then why not ask %Diff for seconds to begin with? If you want decimals of seconds you can specif...

At first glance the easiest way to handle this would be to use countprefix. You have specified this but have not declared the relevant variable in the DS. You need to code something like this: dcl-ds Data qualified; status char(25); errmsg char(100); num_InvoiceData int(5); // Add this definition dc...

Directly within RPG your only option would be to use DATA-INTO with YAJLINTO to read the json, then copy only the required portions to a new DS and use DATA-GEN with YAJLGEN to regenerate the json. It is possible that you could achieve this without the use of a second DS by utilizing countprefix and...

Well they are not "invalid". They appear to be escape characters. In JSON any character that has special meaning must be escaped if it is part of the data. For example this: In json special characters, such as " must be escaped Would have to be represented as: In json special characte...

That URL should be: Servername.company.com:1234/api/ProcessMessage?custID=GPD&facility=01 surely?

The "?" introduces the query string. "&"s separate the parameters.

As it is now the second "?" is being treated as part of the value for custID

What does the HTTPAPI debug log show? If it is a certificate issue it will show there. Are you certain the service is available? How did you verify that?

I would (and do) do exactly what you have suggested. In fact I go one step further in that the /COPY contains the DS as a template. Like so: Dcl-DS myDS_T Qualified Template; field1 char(10); field2 int(5); Dcl-DS nestedDS Dim(20); field3 varchar(40); End-DS; End-DS; That way you can simply referenc...
