Simplify Json builtin routines

1) We tried the json commands in PL/I, but sorry, they are programmer unfriendly. If I want to use them well I have to write a program around them and this is really not what I want. 2) a variable type json would be interesting ... sample json get...

Simplify left/right

I know you wanted to have all possibilites in left / right, but I think the 2 parameter in the functions should be optional, because no programmer wants to spezify the length of the target. If I have an "=" the left side is the target, the length ...

JVM bytecode

A compiler that generates JVM byte code would be a great thing I think. If the compiler runs on IBM OS-es only then your customers will keep to develop on your hardware...A PL/I <==> Java direct call facility would be the hit.
