Thank you for this RFE.
The JSON schema z/OS Connect EE generates for number fields is valid, correct and accurate. The "format" modifier property is optional in the OpenAPI spec, and in the case of int32 and int64 implies a min/max range for the number. Cobol numbers are typically based on decimal digits and so their maximum values don't align with those implied by int32 and int64. For example, the range value here, 0 to 99,999,999,999,999, does not align with either of the ranges implied by int32 (-2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 ) or int64 (-9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807). This schema therefore indicates to any consumer or client library generator that they will need use a data type large enough to accommodate the range specified.
If there is a problem with the client libraries being generated from this swagger doc we suggest that you look to the client library generators themselves to see if they can be changed to correctly honour the number ranges specified in the schema.
As such this RFE is being declined at this time.
