Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS Users * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: JSON linkable interface creates * * incorrect JSON output when an array has * * only one element. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** An application calls DFHJSON to convert application data to JSON. If the JSON schema contains an array and the application data contains one element within the array then the created JSON output incorrectly reformats the array by missing the square brackets.
Problem conclusion
JSON processing in CICS has been changed to correctly handle arrays which contain only one element. A schema with maxitem=1 will not be an array.
