APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In RPT 10.5.3, playback of an HTTP test with any data
  correlation reference that uses a JSON ("JSON: ...") regular

  could see the failure after upgrading to RPT 10.5.3 and
  executing tests that were running without error in earlier
  releases.
  
  The Test Log message corresponding to the failed extraction will
  be similar to:
  
     We were unable to extract the value for the reference named
  [MyRefName], with the regular
     expression [Expected to find an object with property
  ['JSONField'] in path $ but found ...
