PH61688: JSON SEGMENT DOES NOT END CORRECTLY WITH '}'

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• While using JSON format schema for output, if a composite
  segment results in NONE after one that resolves to true and maps
  ahead of it, then that segment ahead of the NONE does not apply
  '}',  and close which results in invalid JSON format.

  AD / MG
  Circumvention: None
  

Problem summary

• Users Affected:
  IBM Transformation Extender users using JSON schema output with
  a empty optional group followed by a optional group with data.
  
  Problem Description:
  Invalid JSON format created when outputting JSON schema with a
  empty optional group followed by another optional group with
  data.
  
  Platforms Affected:
  All
  

Problem conclusion

• Preventing missing JSON syntax, when using JSON schema and we
  have a empty optional group followed by another optional group
  with data. Now the group before the empty optional group has the
  proper syntax, namely a group closing bracket '}'.
