Re: Forbes currency converter

Jack,
I tried to make it match the example better by changing it to
select systools.httpgetclob(
URL *=>* *CAST*('
https://www.forbes.com/advisor/money-transfer/currency-converter/usd-mxn/?amount=
' *CONCAT*
        SYSTOOLS.URLENCODE('1', '')
        AS *VARCHAR*(*255*)),
HTTPHEADER *=>* *CAST*(NULL AS *CLOB*(*1*K)))
from sysibm.sysdummy1;

I'm getting the same error
