Error description
With TRUNC(BIN), a JSON GENERATE of a 5-digit data value into a PIC S9(4) BINARY data item truncates the high order digit, moving only the lower 4 of the 5 digits into the receiving field (i.e. it aligns at the decimal point and then the left-most digit is truncated). TRUNC(BIN) does not seem to be honored with JSON GENERATE and the data is truncated to fit into its picture clause.
