Add new JSONIGNORE attribute

The JSONIGNORE attribute would indicate that an element should be ignored by the JSON functions. If theattribute is specified on a structure, all of the elements of the structure would be ignored. Same behavior as XMLIGNORE.

Propagate the JSONOMIT attribute from a structure parent to its members

If the JSONOMIT attribute is specified on a structure parent, and all its members are containing a null string or a zero value, then the whole structure should be omitted from output generated by the JSON functions. We need the same behavior as th...

Issue new IBM2510I error message also for ROUND(x,0) when x is FIXED BIN(p,0)

IBM2510I error message is issued for CEIL(x), FLOOR(x) and TRUNC(x) when x is FIXED BIN(p,0). Usually this message points to coding errors, often because of incorrect or missing brackets, like here: tmpbf = floor(tmpbf + 2) / 2; So we would like t...

Add new warning message for misuse of a literal as output argument

We would like to get warning messages issued, when a literal is passed as argument, which was explicitly declared as inOut or outOnly. The compiler handles this correct, but of course, the output value is lost. From our point of view, such code is...

New BIF: MEMUVALID()

We work more and more with UTF-8. To verify a longer Unicode String to be valid, we are very over the limits of the length of a variable. So we will need a BuiltInFunction like UVALID() but with Pointer and Length like the other MEM-Functions ->...

JSON Parse and Generate in EBCDIC

LE (Language Environment) just implemented APAR PH57152 for COBOL to Parse and Generate JSON in EBCDIC. It would be useful if PLI implemented the same functionality. Developers often have issues in working in multiple code pages. Improper initiali...

NOLAXNESTED behavior modification

The NOLAXNESTED compiler option should just prevent code in a proc and nested procs to be intermixed.The rule should be that the code in a proc forms a single 'block'. Case 1 : All nested procs AFTER the code => Acceptable a: proc; dcl (x,y,z) ...

Clean Code: Flag (more) unreferenced declarations.

Unused Named Constants, some BASED variables and maybe more declarations are not flagged in the Compilerlisting as UNREFERENCED. It is not relevant to the performance or other things at run-time, but to have a clean code (more maintainable), it wo...

Enhance SUPRESS attribute with LAXENTRY

Please add LAXENTRY to the SUPRESS attribute for procedures and entries – similar to LAXNESTED – in V6.1 Background: We want to activate RULES(NOLAXENTRY(LOOSE)) but have some own (deprecated) functions reading the PL/I descriptors leading to some...
