Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know of a way to get the a!fromJson function to respect arrays? Ie:
a!fromJson({"Values":["Alph;a","Beta","Delta"]})
will return a dictionary. When I index 'values' from the dictionary I get a single string representation of the array I started with instead of the array itself.
The problem appears to be that dictionaries themselves don't support arrays as values - for example this expression returns 1 instead of 3:
load(
local!dict: {Values: {1, 2, 3}},
length(local!dict.Values)
)
Does anyone have a way around this shortcoming?

Hi jpheh,
You can use the split() function to get the array returned from the single valued string. For example -
load(
local!dict: {Values: {1, 2, 3}},
length(split(local!dict.Values,";"))
)
