JSON PARSE – Conversion / Differentiation of NULL values

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

NULL values in PATCH method (how does Java actually differentiate?)

When using the http request method PATCH it is necessary to distinguish whether a field was omitted or whether a null value was sent. A construct similar to the JSON PARSE converting phrase for booleans would be useful to specify, what a null should be converted to, e.g. Low-Values or another Value:

JSON Parse ZielFeld-UTF8(1:ZW-LAENGE-Ausgabe-JSON)

Into Display-Example

Converting Every Numeric When Null To Low-Values

Every Nonnumeric When Null To 'NULL'

End-JSON

    IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS is a continuous delivery offering, and aims to satisfy the needs of a rapidly evolving market segment. Product strategy evolves and requirements are continuously evaluated against that strategy. This Idea has recently been appraised against the wider product strategy and does not fall into IBMs delivery plans for the next 12 month. Whilst this Idea is valid and we might look to deliver longer term, this Idea is being rejected at this time. The requirement will be kept in our internal Idea backlog and might be reassessed in the future.

    Similar feature is also needed on JSON GENERATE where LOW-VALUES is represented as NULL in the result JSON. Maybe an alternative form of the SUPPRESS WHEN ... phrase could be NULL WHEN ...
