Null array gives IGZ0339W instead of IGZ0326I

We are parsing JSON containing:

"myList":["item1","item2","last"],

with structure defined:

05 MYLIST OCCURS 5 TIMES PIC X(10).

This works as expected.

However, sometimes the list is empty so the service returns:

"myList":null,

This throws IGZ0339W

"myList" at offset 100 was found to be incompatible with the matching data item.

We would expect IGZ0326I

data item MYLIST was not changed because the value of the JSON name/value pair at offset 100 was the special value null.
