  • NEW FUNCTION.

The COBOL Runtime has been enhanced, which includes:

- Added new JSON PARSE and GENERATE support for
UTF-8 data items (PIC U) and
Dynamic-length Items (PIC X DYNAMIC and PIC U DYNAMIC)

- Added JSON PARSE and GENERATE support for
the new ENCODING phrase which allowed to handle JSON texts
in EBCDIC

- Fixed incorrect JSON boolean values intermittently
generated when JSON GENERATE statements were used with
the 'CONVERTING ... TO JSON BOOLEAN USING ...' phrase

- Added new COBOL Runtime messages described in the following
