Index.

Please note that this is my old site, the new site is https://ibmrestapi.blogspot.com

I have just realized that labels and the search function only work on the posts and not the pages so this is an index to get around that.

• Challenges:

• Now to do the REST of the rest as GET is done.

• Resolutions:

• Signal SIGABRT raised (abnormal termination).  
• itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com

•  JSON/YAJL file with bad leading records/rows. 
• itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com 
• linkedin.com 
• ibm.com 
• archive.midrange.com 
   
•   QtmhWrStout external program use in fully/totally free RPG. 

• Coding REST APIs:

• RPG code.
• Debug steps.

• REST APIs:

• Getting started on the IBM iSeries.
• GET, PUT, POST & DELETE.

QtmhWrStout

The solution for the challenge listed bellow was not to use QtmhWrStout but to use the YAJL  yajl_writeStdout routine as in Scott Klement's article and not the open source provided for STOCKQTY REST.

Also EXTPGM should have been EXTPROC

I can't seem to get this to work using fully/totally free RPG so resorted to RPG free IV:

Here is the code

Please see this blog for the solution to my challenge bellow.

I would appreciate input as I can't get rid of the first two lines and the third has the { right at the end.
Here is the code.

When I execute the URL I do not get a JSON return but this:

As can be seen next, the rest of the GET does the same
