Hi all,

I'm using iib V10 and I exposed some REST service on it. I have input parameter which is char and sometimes clients send me string with newline in it. i want to substring everything before newline.

I've tried this, but it doesn't work
Code:

DECLARE CR CHAR CAST(CAST('X''0A''' AS BLOB) AS CHAR CCSID InputRoot.Properties.CodedCharSetId);
DECLARE temp CHAR;
SET temp = SUBSTRING(InputRoot.JSON.Data.beneCustName BEFORE CR);

or
Code:

SET temp = SUBSTRING(InputRoot.JSON.Data.beneCustName BEFORE '
');


Can someone help with this?

The string in the message tree is in UTF-16, not InputRoot.Properties.CodedCharSetId.

Also, you don't need to CAST X'0A' as BLOB. It's already a BLOB. You should get into the habit of reading the language reference: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSMKHH_10.0.0/com.ibm.etools.mft.doc/ak17840_.htm

Unparsed JSON strings should not have literal control characters, including any end-of-line characters. Instead they should have escape sequences, like "\n" for line feed (LF), and "\r" for carriage return (CR). What does the unparsed JSON look like?

"doesn't work" is a bit vague. A usertrace might describe more completely what it does do.

The variable name for the converted BLOB literal (X'0A') would usually be "LF", not "CR". Regardless, the BLOB does not come from the input message, so it should not depend on the input ccsid. Since it is hard-coded, the ccsid can be, too; any ASCII-based ccsid will do, such as 367 (US-ASCII), 819 (ISO-8859-1), or 1208 (UTF-8):

Code:
DECLARE LF CHAR CAST(X'0A' AS CHAR CCSID 819);

Of course, it would still help to know what end-of-line character sequence to expect in the input. Is it just an LF, or could it be CR+LF, or maybe something else?

Embedding a literal end-of-line sequence in a CHAR string is unreliable. That is why developers make the extra effort to CAST BLOB literals to CHAR in the first place.
