We use PHPMailer. I'll try to dig out the script we are using which should remind me of the requirements.

We use PHP to send emails via a gmail SMTP server and have been doing so for a number of years. It works fine but did take some playing around with to get it right initially.

Yes there is - it is in my text that you quoted! Use countprefix for the DS representing the object (or indeed for any item that can be omitted) and you don't need it. It is only required if you don't tell RPG how to notify you of the actual count of an element. You'll find several examples of using...

I've not encountered this before but have you tried simply coding it as: What does YAJLGEN show?

You're welcome and if you are indeed in learning mode:

That may help.

I was going to call the series the "Old Farts Guide ..." but they wouldn't;t let me <grin>

"I'm just calling the program from command line for testing" And there is your problem right there. Your code is expecting a 256 char variable but what it is getting is a 32 byte character variable - which is the default from the command line. The system will have padded with blanks up to...

Well you don't show us the original content of the file name parm so we can't even be sure that it was the same. If this works (re-done in free-form 'cos I can't be bothered to work out the spacing): Dcl-s XMLfile varchar(256) inz('/Home/Xml/ActualFile.XML'); xml-sax %handler(XmlHandler: IgnoreIt) %...

Today may be your lucky day! In response to a similar issue Scott has _literally_ just added a new %PARSER option called "skip_nulls". When enabled it will simply cause any element with a null value to not be reported to RPG. You can read about it in this thread https://www.scottklement.co...

Empty objects shouldn't present a problem. It is when the json represents an empty object by assigning it a null value that DATA-INTO has a problem. As to allowmissing you really shouldn't need it. Use countprefix for the DS representing the object (or indeed for any item that can be omitted) and yo...

Nice Scott - I think I'll still put an IDEA forward to have DATA-INTO offer an option for compound elements but this will certainly help a lot of people who have encountered this issue.

Thanks.
