PH60701: BAQ-STATUS-CODE 400 is returned because a floating point field is used in place of a decimal field.

APAR status

• Closed as unreproducible in next release.

Error description

• When a "format: decimal" field is referenced using a $ref, the
  API requester request fails with BAQ-STATUS-CODE 400.
  
  If the "format: decimal" definition is placed directly where it
  was originally referenced from, the problem does not occur.
  

Local fix

• Replace the $ref reference to the decimal field in the Swagger
  document with the definition of the field.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of the z/OS Connect V3.0           *
  *                 zosconnect:apiRequester-1.0 feature          *
  *                 (OpenAPI 2 API requesters).                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: BAQ-STATUS-CODE 400 is returned because *
  *                      a floating point field is used in place *
  *                      of a decimal field.                     *
  ****************************************************************
  While processing the Swagger document, the build toolkit made
  the referenced format "null". When the API requester was invoked
  this caused the specified field type to be ignored and the
  default type 'number' with 'format'value: 'double' to be used.
  
  Instead of the expected decimal value, a floating point value
  was used and this resulted in the z/OS Connect server returning
  the reported HTTP status code 400.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• z/OS Connect has been corrected to ensure that the specified
  format is used, preventing the reported problem.
  
  The build toolkit version has been updated to V1.19.
  
  The fix for this APAR is expected to be delivered by the PTFs
  for z/OS Connect V3.0.86.0 (PH63351).
