Usage Note 60288: PROC DS2 might generate errors when the JSON package method createParser contains a Varchar parameter

DetailsAboutRate It

The following errors might be encountered when you run PROC DS2 and the JSON package method createParser contains a Varchar parameter:

ERROR: Compilation error.
ERROR: Line 104: Ambiguous method call for method createparser. Multiple method declarations match the given argument list.

To circumvent the issue, do one of the following:

  • Assign the variable supplied to the createParser method a type of NVARCHAR:

    rc=j.createParser(response);

     

  • Provide the input text to the createParser method as a national string:

    rc=j.createParser  (n'{ "my JSON " : "text" }' );

     

  • Use a subsequent setParserInput method to provide the input text instead of supplying it as the first argument in the createParser method:

    dcl varchar (128) txt;
    txt='{ "my JSON" : "text" }';
    rc=j.createParser();
    rc=j.setParserInput ( txt );
