IT29270: GENBSON() CAN CREATE INVALID BSON BUT SHOULD RETURN AN ERROR INSTEAD

APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• Example:
  
  SELECT genbson(row("longname", "shortname"), 1, 1)::JSON FROM (
       (SELECT 'AA' as shortname, 'BB' as longname
           FROM systables WHERE tabid = 1) as a);
  
  generates
  
  (expression)  {"":"longname","":"shortname"}
  
  but {"":"longname","":"shortname"} is invalid bson.
  genbson() should return an error instead.
