Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• NEW FUNCTION
  To support conditional suppress, the COBOL V6.3 compiler APAR
  PH30975 has provided new syntax enhancement to the SUPPRESS
  phrase of JSON GENERATE statement. This Runtime APAR provides
  the required update in the runtime library to enable the
  compiler support.
  This COBOL runtime APAR has no impact on programs that do not
  use the new SUPPRESS syntax.
