This document covers the following topics:

• *PARSE-LEVEL (r) for JSON

• *PARSE-INDEX (r) for JSON

• *PARSE-TYPE (r) for JSON

The system variables, which are available when using the PARSE JSON statement, are only valid in the context of the current loop.

---

*PARSE-LEVEL (r) for JSON

Format/length:	I4
Content modifiable:	No

This system variable contains the level of currently nested elements.

(r) notation after *PARSE-LEVEL is used to indicate the statement label or source-code line number of the PARSE JSON statement. If (r) is not specified, *PARSE-LEVEL represents the level where the parser in the currently active processing loop is working at.

*PARSE-INDEX (r) for JSON

Format/length:	I4
Content modifiable:	No

This system variable contains the index of currently nested elements.

(r) notation after *PARSE-LEVEL is used to indicate the statement label or source-code line number of the PARSE JSON statement. If (r) is not specified, *PARSE-INDEX represents the index of the array element where the parser in the currently active processing loop is working at.

*PARSE-TYPE (r) for JSON

Format/length:	A1
Content modifiable:	No

This Natural system variable is automatically created for each PARSE JSON statement issued.

This system variable contains the type of the delivered data.

(r) notation after *PARSE-TYPE is used to indicate the statement label or source-code line number of the PARSE JSON statement. If (r) is not specified, *PARSE-TYPE represents the type of the delivered data in the currently active processing loop.

Possible values for ASCII-based systems are:

<	Start of an Object Data-Structure
>	End of an Object Data-Structure
(	Start of an Array Data-Structure
)	End of an Array Data-Structure
A	String type Data-Element
I	Numeric type Data-Element
N	Null type Data-Element
L	Boolean type Data-Element
K	Key (or) Data-Name
