Monetary Values and DEFAULT-FRACTION-DIGITS

When using the JSON number decimal format the default setting is to 3 decimal places and we need the ability to set the floating point precision and to be able to specify DEFAULT-FRACTION-DIGITS in the build toolkit for outbound APIs.

    This requirement is addressed by APAR PH30400:
    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/PH30400
    which was shipped in z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition V3.0.43 / APAR PH34379:
    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/PH34379

    The z/OS Connect EE API requester code has been updated to correctly translate decimal numbers with a large number of digits after the decimal point.

    The build toolkit has also been updated to allow "defaultFractionDigits" to be specified in the properties file. The "defaultFractionDigits" parameter specifies the default number of fraction digits to use on a JSON decimal schema type. For COBOL, the valid range is 0-17, or 0-30 if parameter "wideComp3" is being used. For PLI, the valid range is 0-30. The default value is 3.

    A sample of how to use "defaultFractionDigits" is in the sample_ara.properties in the build toolkit apiRequester samples directory

    For further details about build toolkit properties for API requester, refer to the “The build toolkit properties file” topic in the z/OS Connect EE V3.0 Knowledge Center:

    Is it not possible to change max and min?
    "format":"decimal",
    "type":"number",
    "minimum": -0.01,
    "maximum": 99999999999999 or whatever max can be
