Error description

• DFHPI1009 .. JSON to data transformation failed.
  A conversion error (OUTPUT_OVERFLOW)
               occurred when converting field rrrrrrrr for
               WEBSERVICE xx.
                                                                 .
  The CICS internal trace, exception entry, contained the flow:
  PI 2003 JRAS  *EXC* -

                                                                 .

  The value to be handled in this case was 0.0000001
  BigDecimal is being used and the value 0.0000001 is received by
  putStringAsPacked() as 1E-7. This is the correct number, however
  faulty logic failed to ensure this number had the correct number
  of digits before and after any decimal point. In this case the
  logic determined the number had four digits before the decimal
  point and none afterwards. At most three digits are expected
  before the decimal point and the OUTPUT OVERFLOW error was
  tripped.

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: DFHPI1009 during SOAP payload           *
  *                      containing JSON data, where the decimal *
  *                      value being transformed is more than 7  *
  *                      decimal places.                         *
  ****************************************************************
  When a decimal number is received by a JVM server in a web
  request with more than 7 decimal places, it is converted into
  scientific notation during the JSON data transformation. As such
  when we evaluate whether the value conforms to the schema,
  rather than evaluating the number of values following the
  decimal point correctly, we find that it is 0,
  with the values of the scientific notation all being before the
  decimal point (4 in the case of 0.0000001 which is converted to
  1E-7). This can result in the value being rejected by the
  schema incorrectly resulting in an OUTPUT_OVERFLOW and
  message DFHPI1009 being issued.
  

Problem conclusion

• CICS has been changed so that the schema evaluation is able to
  convert scientific notation values back to decimal values for
  evaluation.
