Problem conclusion
Temporary fix
Comments
NEW FUNCTION. The COBOL runtime library has been enhanced to support new syntax in the JSON PARSE statement. COBOL programs that contain this new syntax need to be recompiled using a COBOL compiler with APAR PH02251 installed, and run with the current runtime APAR installed. The optional keywords "NAME ... OMITTED" are added to the JSON PARSE statement: JSON PARSE identifier-1 INTO identifier-2 [ NAME identifier-2 OMITTED ] ... Usage example. The following JSON PARSE statement would be successful when processing the JSON input text described in "Problem Summary" above: JSON PARSE JSON-text INTO A NAME A OMITTED
