IT33379: THERE IS NO WAY TO DISABLE SCIENTIFIC NOTATION WHEN SERIALIZING A DOUBLE VALUE IN THE JSON PARSER

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• When serializing a double value with the JSON parser scientific
  notation will be used by default. So for example serializing
  the value "9.81" would result in "9.81E+0" being written to the
  JSON output tree.
  
  This APAR adds an option to serialize using
  decimal notation from double values.

Problem conclusion

• This APAR introduces the property allowScientificNotation to the
  JSON stanza of the server.conf.yaml file.
  
  When set to true this allows the JSON parser to use scientific
  notation when serializing a double value.
  
  When set to false this forces the parser to use standard decimal
  notation.
  
  the default value of this property is "true" and changes require
  an Integration Server restart to become effective.
