COBCH1984 One byte alphanumeric (PIC X) elementary data item expected
The JSON PARSE .. CONVERTING phrase has been specified to indicate what a JSON BOOLEAN value should be translated to in the resultant COBOL structure for the given item. However this specification is only valid for single byte items, which this item is not.
COBCH1985 Condition-name or one byte alphanumeric literal expected
The JSON PARSE ... CONVERTING phrase has been specified to indicate what a JSON BOOLEAN value should be translated to in the resultant COBOL structure. However, that translated value must be a one-byte literal or condition name.
COBCH1986 Not a condition name for <item-1>

COBCH1987 Condition-name was not specified with the "FALSE" phrase
The JSON PARSE ... CONVERTING phrase has been specified to indicate what a JSON BOOLEAN value should be translated to in the resultant COBOL structure. However, only one condition name has been specified, which does not have a WHEN SET TO FALSE phrase. The FALSE value is thus undefined.
COBCH1988 "FALSE" literal value not specified
The JSON PARSE ... CONVERTING phrase has been specified to indicate what a JSON BOOLEAN value should be translated to in the resultant COBOL structure. However, only one literal value has been specified, so the false value is undefined.
