JSON PARSE WITH DETAIL specified at run time

It would be helpful if WITH DETAIL phrase of JSON PARSE can be enabled/disabled at run time by application logic.

We continue to struggle with problem resolution when specific use cases cause unexpected results from web service calls, resulting in Parse failures. Displaying the payload during error processing is discouraged since it may contain sensitive data that should not be included in job logs. Modifying production source code for problem resolution is discouraged. Reproducing in a test environment is extremely challenging for large applications with many data dependencies.

The WITH DETAIL phrase displays too many messages in job output. Many of the messages are expected conditions for many applications. After testing, WITH DETAIL is removed for production code in order to reduce job logs and distracting LEMSG output.

Possible solution:

WITH DETAIL <data-name>

Where data-name references a variable that contains a value such as YES/NO; ON/OFF; TRUE/FALSE; T/F; Y/N

A Blank value would be interpreted as False or No.

In this way, the application has more options to gather additional information regarding the nature of the error.

External parms for debugging set in JCL input cards or parameter files can be leveraged to set WITH DEAIL on or off as needed and rerun the application.

Alternatively, when a JSON document fails to parse properly (according to error handling decisions in the application), the data-name variable can be set ON and the exact same parse statement re-executed automatically within the application to display the detail for this single JSON document.

Current work around is to code the exact same PARSE statement twice; once omitting WITH DETAIL, and once WITH DETAIL. Error handling executes the one WITH DETAIL when needed. This is risky due to needing to maintain two exact copies of code and ensure they are kept up to date with changes. It is very likely the WITH DETAIL copy will Not receive all the same code changes, resulting in misleading problem resolution.
