I have little experience with assembler to JSON but a fair amount of experience with assembler to C and assembler to a proprietary record schema language.
The problem with any of these is that assembler is not strongly typed while JSON, C and the record schema are. An assembler programmer can define a field any way s/he wants and then use it any way s/he wants. Common examples: CL8 fields used for timestamps. X fields used for printable characters. C fields used for bit maps. X and C fields used for anything and everything -- for example, CL2 fields that are actually binary halfwords. D fields used for 64-bit integers.

Can anyone point me to a document for best practices (or recommendations) for mapping Assembler data types to JSON. One of our developers has a requirement to do so. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
