preparelockunspent syntax

Question

I’m testing the DvP transaction on the UI but I get a parsing error when I try to lock the unspent output in a format like:

preparelockunspent {“asset1”:100}

or

preparelockunspent {“181-267-3429”:100}

so it doesn’t matter if I use the asset name or refid, I get a JSON parsing error.

Answer 1

These are JSON parameters so you need to pass them in single quotes, e.g.:

preparelockunspent '{"asset1":100}'

See the 'Getting Started' page on the MultiChain site for more examples.
