Provide support to send DBCS characters in unescaped form in z/OS Connect EE using REST API

Currently z/OS Connect EE send DBCS data in unescaped form when using REST API , however the customer in Japan which we are currently trying to sell z/OS Connect EE will have C and Java programs as the REST client.
If the JSON data is sent in escaped form, they will need to develop some conversion routine for the escaped characters, which will increase their development cost, and could also adversely impact performance depending on the amount of DBCS characters, as well as the increase in size of the JSON data.

They also foresee future use of the REST API from other clients, and there could be cases where they use a product which cannot handle escaped DBCS characters.

It would be best if they can unify their JSON service access using API's without worrying about handling escaped DBCS characters in their programs.

    there is UTF8 support in z/OS Connect EE. We'll investigate further to determine whether that would meet this requirement
