Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS Users * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: DFHJSON does not put quotes around a * * string value that contains numbers. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** DFHJSON is called to convert application data to JSON. The language structure for conversion contains all string data. Some of the string data is numbers only (eg 30). When DFHJSON is constructing the JSON output it incorrectly changes these only number strings to numbers in the JSON output. This can cause errors if the data is sent to another service that is performing schema checking.
Problem conclusion
JSON processing in CICS has been changed to correctly handle string values containing numbers.
