IT32345: ASSIGNING BLOB FIELDS TO A JSON PARSER RESULTS IN AN EMPTY VALUEIF THE LENGTH IS OVER 2047 CHARS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When assigning a BLOB field to a field in a JSON parser the
  result will be empty if the size of the BLOB is greater than
  2047 Characters.
  
  For example:
  
  CREATE LASTCHILD OF OutputRoot DOMAIN('JSON');
  
  SET OutputRoot.JSON.Data.Folder.message.content = myBlob;
  SET OutputRoot.JSON.Data.Folder.message.size = LENGTH(myBlob);
  
  
  Produces the following output if myBlob is larger than 2047
  chars:
  
  
  {"Folder":{"message":{"content":"{"Folder":{"message":{"content"
  :"","size":15005}}}
