Enhancement to the PL/I jsonGetValue built-in function to add a selector option to jsonGetValue which would allow specifying a condition for selecting an array element. The function would then only copy those elements that satisfy the condition.

For example, given the JSON document below, it would be great to specify we only want the item with "TRAINING": "Y" copied over to the PL/I structure. JSON_DOCUMENT: { "PASSES": 3, "DATA": [ { "NAME": "Mather", "ELEVATION": 12100, "TRAINING": "Y" ...

JSONGET handling for null

Please provide options for how to handle special value ‘null’ while parsing a JSON document using JSONGET* functions. It can be important to understand the difference between zero and null in numeric fields. Currently there is no way to interpret ...

Add built-in support for Tree data structures

Modern languages have built-in support for data structures such as linked-list (singly, doubly, circular), Stacks, Queues, Trees (Binary, Red-Black, B, …), … There are many types of tree data structures. At first, basic binary trees should be supp...

Add JSONIGNORE attribute similar to XMLIGNORE

The JSONIGNORE attribute would indicate that an element should be ignored by the JSON functions. If the attribute is specified on a substructure, all of the elements of the structure will be ignored. We also need the JSONOMIT attribute to be exten...

Make more z/OS instructions available as builtin functions

Given recent addition of many z/OS instructions as builtin functions, it might be useful to add another one, in casu "LOAD REVERSED", to swap directly between big-endian and little-endian formats, rather than do this via declarations of variables ...

Allow signed fixed bin variables to be initialised by unsigned "bx" constants

When converting a C routine to calculate hash values, the original C code initialised constants with "unsigned" hex constants. PL/I does have them, but when trying to use signed fixed bin variables, the resulting code did not compile. It would be ...
