CICS JSON Assistant Utility

CICS TS 4.1 and 4.2 offer both SOAP and XML assistant utilities. An assistant utility for JSON would be most helpful in the development of RESTful web services.

    This is something we would consider for a future release. In the meantime, the Dynamic Scripting supportpac can be used for generating/processing JSON under CICS.

    By default all RFEs are public. The company name and the Business Justification sections are always private between the raiser and IBM. If you remove the company name from your user profile, then there will be no indication of the company involved. Please can this be done so that the RFE can be made public.
