COBOL should allow generation of a JSON document without a "top level parent name"

JSON documents are not required to have a "top level parent name". The Enterprise COBOL JSON PARSE feature has an option "NAME <name> IS OMITTED" that allows for parsing one of these so-called "anonymous" JSON objects. However, there is currently no option for COBOL to generate an anonymous JSON object. A new option should be added to JSON GENERATE to allow generating an anonymous JSON object.
