Your IBM Idi s not enough. Your customer needs to open the PMR to get the PTF.

Thank you Birgitta that’s great news!

I’m afraid I’ve never raised a PMR. I assume I’ll need to talk to my client ( I’m a contractor) and get details from their support agreement with ibm?
For myself all I have is my own ibm ID which I assume is insufficient to raise a PMR?

thanks and regards,
Craig

Hi,

the bug is already fixed, but I do not know if it is already a
official PTF.
I recently talked with Scott Forstie. The easiest way to get the PTF
is to open a PMR and point to Scott Forstie.

Subject: New JSON Publishing functions - bug with JSON numeric types?

Hi All,

I was hoping to use the new JSON Publishing functions in a current project.
I've installed the relevant TR and have access to the new functions,
which mostly seem very good.

However, it seems to me that there is a bug in the json_object() function.

To illustrate - here is some sql which tries to build a json object in
two ways - in t1 it is using the new json_object() function and in t2
I've just built it manually.

What I expect is: {"amount":0.5}
but what json_object is giving me is: {"amount":.5} i.e it is not
inserting the 0 before the decimal point.

I also use the IS JSON predicate to indicate that the json object
built by
json_object() is not valid JSON:

with t1 as (
select 'auto' as coltype, json_object( 'amount' value 0.5 ) as data
from
sysibm/sysdummy1) ,
t2 as (
select 'manual' as coltype, '{"amount":0.5}' as data from
sysibm/sysdummy1) select coltype, data, case when data is json object then 'Y'
else 'N'
end as validjson
from t1
union all
select coltype, data,
case when data is json object then 'Y'
else 'N'
end as validjson
from t2;

This yields:
-- COLTYPE DATA VALIDJSON
-- auto {"amount":.5} N
-- manual {"amount":0.5} Y

Am I missing something or is this a bug?
Any advice on how to report this?
I would much prefer to use these functions to build my json objects
but my project has some pretty tight deadlines.

Thanks and best regards,
Craig
