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.
