If you dont want to use a ready-made solution, you are doomed to create it by yourself!

 

All I can think of is to use JSONPackage. Export your first datawindow, load it on a JSONPackage variable, export the second datawindow and then use the SetValue(‘details’, jExp2) to complete the JSON. 

The obvious problem here is that datawindow export is creating a JSON array, not a json object, which means your export may look like this: [{"id":"1","name":""a}]

Since JSONPackage can not handle arrays (as far as I know), you have to remove the [] characters using string manipulation.

If you do that, then I see no problem creating the JSON string you described..

I have already done this . this is not useful for me because i need to be modify the value after taking the one by one value from dw and before the createing json string so exportjson is not useful for me because it create directly so I can't apply moddification on values.

This is very - very easy, if you use the json solution, created by Georg Brodbeck.

https://community.appeon.com/index.php/articles-blogs/tips-tricks-techniques-articles/17-powerbuilder/261-enhanced-json

 

If you ever used PBDOM for XML, you will feel very comfortable with this. In fact, it's more powerful than PBDOM. I used it a lot lately and I think it's very easy to accomplish what you want, using this simple library.

There is documentation and examples on GitHub. If you have questions about specific things, feel free to ask.

ah... and thank Georg for sharing his work with us!!!

Why not use ExportJson and ExportRowAsJson functions?
