Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V6 and later       *
  *                 releases running program using JSON PARSE    *
  *                 that parse JSON documents into fixed         *
  *                 character-length UTF-8 data items.           *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: No warning messages are generated from  *
  *                      JSON PARSE when parsing JSON documents  *
  *                      into fixed character-length UTF-8 data  *
  *                      items where the data in the source      *
  *                      JSON document is larger than its        *
  *                      target destination in the fixed         *
  *                      character-length UTF-8 data item.       *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Install provided PTF.                        *
  ****************************************************************
  There was a logic error in the runtime routine for JSON PARSE
  when a fixed character-length UTF-8 data item was declared with
  a size larger than the size of its target data from a JSON
  document when received from JSON PARSE. A warning message
  informing about the loss of significance was missing.

Problem conclusion

• The logic in the runtime routine for JSON PARSE has been
  corrected to detect the loss of significance when parsing JSON
  documents and assigning values from JSON PARSE into fixed
  character-length UTF-8 data items.
