Re: Help receiving JSON into CGI program

Brad,
Our attempt to parse JSON is failing before getting to the CGI program. It
is throwing the following message in the job log.  We aren't sure  how to
troubleshoot. We are compiling the module, then creating the program and
immediately trying to test. Any thoughts or pointers(No pun intended) would
be greatly appreciated.

  From user . . . . . . . . . :   QTMHHTP1

  To module . . . . . . . . . :   ZSRVCGI

  To procedure  . . . . . . . :   BigSwitch

  Statement . . . . . . . . . :   3

  Message . . . . :   Program import not found.

  Cause . . . . . :   The calling program SHPMNTWEB refers to a procedure or

    data export from service program YAJLR4 which does not exist. The
calling                  
    program refers to export-ID X'00000022', the service program defines
only                  
    X'00000020' exports. Recovery  . . . :   Recreate the calling program.

    Technical description . . . . . . . . :   The service program has been

    changed in an incompatible manner since the time the calling program was

    created and thus bound to the service program. Recreate the calling
program.

The data should be decoded when read in using YAJL.

Here a link to a series I did a while back:
