    use the weekday builtin function with two parameters(date x, format p)

    This would be an easier way to use the function weekday: weekday( x, p ) returns weekday( days( x, p ) )

    JSONPUT generate special value null

    Please provide the ability to generate keyword ‘null’ when a value is empty.Suggest a new attribute JSONNULL or similar. This would be mutually exclusive of JSONOMIT but could use the same criteria – empty/zero-length string or zero. Alternatively...

    Add environment variable or equivalent, dummy DD (?), such that a PLIDUMP call can check the existence of the envvar and call Fault Analyzer as part of its processing.

    In much earlier versions of Fault Analyzer a zap was provided to the PLIDUMP code such that IDISNAP (Fault Analyzers dynamic call interface) could be invoked as part of a PLIDUMP call, without having to modify the application code. This is no long...
