Some of the JSON I have to parse has the same tag names for different segments.  For example

[{"id":10,"order_id":105,"product_id":137,"product_options":[{"id":8,"option_id":24...

where "id" occurs twice.  Is there some technique with the NAME OF/IS phrase that will allow me to give these two tags different names?  Or any other ideas other than manipulating each context-specific "id" to rename them to two different names?

I am at release 10.4

If you look at our example atw-jparse.cbl, it also is parsing data that has same tag names. You may need to install AcuToWeb to see this example. We used multiple 01 items to separate these.

thanks for your suggestion, but alas, i have no such program in my sample folder.  i do have acuweb, but this program was not anywhere to be found.  any chance you could post it please?  thanks!

78 myurl value 'api.openweathermap.org/.../weather
*
* Notice the JSON starts with {"coord": and the JSON weather element is an array value, which needs to be parsed into a COBOL table.
* Using the STRING phrase we add a top-level name to the JSON data and
* made a similar COBOL group item allowing parsing all this data with one JSON PARSE command

* The jquery-cmd injects JS code to do an Ajax call to the web service that responds with a JSON record with weather data.
* The CustomJSHelper function/class is part oof AcuToWeb and is used in order to trigger an Event into the COBOL program.
* This is particularly useful as many of the JS calls are asynchronous and the only way to know when
* they are finished is to use a callback function. These callback functions are widely used in Javascript.
* The technique to use is to code a JS callback, and then use the CustomJSHelper to trigger an event in order
* to notify the availability of data to the COBOL program that then will be able to handle it.
*
