Error description
Unexpected Information message is printed when JSON PARSE with detail is used
Local fix
RECOVERY ACTION: Apply PTF
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.4 and later * * releases running programs using JSON PARSE * * with detail phrase to parse JSON documents * * into fixed character-length UTF-8 data * * items. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Informational runtime message IGZ0329I * * was issued incorrectly informing about * * the loss of information when JSON PARSE * * with detail phrase is used to parse * * JSON documents into fixed * * character-length UTF-8 data items * * where the sender document can fit into * * the receiver data item correctly and * * there is no loss of information. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Install the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** When JSON PARSE with detail is used to parse JSON documents into fixed character-length UTF-8 data items, a logic error in the COBOL Runtime led to an incorrect informational runtime message IGZ0329I being issued about loss of information in the parsed output data item when the size of the JSON document and its contents can fit correctly into the receiver data item, i.e., the JSON document can be parsed into the fixed character-length UTF-8 data item correctly without loss of information. COB0604T/K
Problem conclusion
The problem in the COBOL Runtime has been corrected. The logic used to determine loss of significance of information in JSON PARSE routine bas been corrected by ensuring that the informational message is issued only when JSON PARSE with detail phrase is used and when the sender JSON document is greater than the receiver and there is an actual loss of information.
