Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• DFHJSON-JSON or the DFHJSON-DATA containers should be specified
  when linking to DFHJSON.
  
  If neither is specified the following message is received
  DFHPI0002  A severe error (code X'320F') has occurred in module
  DFHPIJS and a system dump is taken.
  
  An error code 13 in DFHJSON-ERROR should be returned instead of
  issuing an error in DFHPIJS or taking a system dump.

  ****************************************************************
  An application issues EXEC CICS LINK PROGRAM('DFHJSON') after
  populating a DFHJSON-TRANSFRM container but without supplying a
  DFHJSON-JSON or DFHJSON-DATA container.
  
  DFHJSON validation does not check for this and issues a
  DFHMLJSM TRANSFORM_JSON call. DFHMLJS issues a DFHPIJSM
  TRANSFORM_JSON call with REQUEST_NAME of DFHJSON-JSON.
  This fails because DFHJSON-JSON does not exist.
  
  DFHPIJS makes a trace entry with point ID X'320F' and
  issues message DFHPI0002 together with a system dump.
  DFHMLJS passes a response of MLJS_DISASTER back to DFHJSON.
  DFHJSON puts the value unexpected_error (20) into the
  DFHJSON-ERROR container before issuing an EXEC CICS RETURN to
  the invoking application.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHJSON transform validation is changed to check for both the
  DFHJSON-JSON and DFHJSON-DATA containers being missing. It
  reports this error by putting the value missing_container (13)
  into the DFHJSON-ERROR container before the EXEC CICS RETURN
  to the invoking application.
