Error description

  • When using the ASBITSTREAM function in a compute node to convert
a JSON message into a BLOB format using specified encoding and
CCSID, if the message assembly parsing causes the JSON Parser to
throw RecoverableException, specifically from the method
ImbConverterCPP::internalToUnicode, then the ACE Execution
Group/Integration Server may abend with the below entries
