    This requirement is addressed by z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition V3.0.26 / APAR PH16810:
    https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?crawler=1&uid=swg1PH16810

    z/OS Connect EE has been enhanced with the capability to expose service fields in JSON payloads as a Boolean data type. For this functionality to be effective, z/OS Connect EE API toolkit V3.0.6.10 or V3.2.6.10 must be used.

    For further details about Defining Boolean Fields, refer to the "Defining Boolean fields" section of the “Defining service fields” topic in the z/OS Connect EE V3.0 Knowledge Center:
