Manage default values being passed from z/OS Connect to IMS transactions if JSON tag is not passed in the service requests

Default values being passed from z/OS Connect to IMS transactions if JSON tag is not passed in the service requests could result in unwanted/unexpected character transformation. These transformations could result in not passing the correct data type and can easily cause the IMS transaction to fail on the data type check.
