    Reduce the amount of storage used by the JSONGet functions

    We see high cpu from LE 'Get a stack' from build in PL/1 JSONGet functions like JsonGetValue. Please reduce the stack used storage in the JSONGet functions.

    Enhancement to the PL/I jsonGetValue built-in function to add a selector option to jsonGetValue which would allow specifying a condition for selecting an array element. The function would then only copy those elements that satisfy the condition.

    For example, given the JSON document below, it would be great to specify we only want the item with "TRAINING": "Y" copied over to the PL/I structure. JSON_DOCUMENT: { "PASSES": 3, "DATA": [ { "NAME": "Mather", "ELEVATION": 12100, "TRAINING": "Y" ...

    Add JSONIGNORE attribute similar to XMLIGNORE

    The JSONIGNORE attribute would indicate that an element should be ignored by the JSON functions. If the attribute is specified on a substructure, all of the elements of the structure will be ignored. We also need the JSONOMIT attribute to be exten...

    Make more z/OS instructions available as builtin functions

    Given recent addition of many z/OS instructions as builtin functions, it might be useful to add another one, in casu "LOAD REVERSED", to swap directly between big-endian and little-endian formats, rather than do this via declarations of variables ...

    Allow signed fixed bin variables to be initialised by unsigned "bx" constants

    When converting a C routine to calculate hash values, the original C code initialised constants with "unsigned" hex constants. PL/I does have them, but when trying to use signed fixed bin variables, the resulting code did not compile. It would be ...

    JSONGET handling for null

    Please provide options for how to handle special value ‘null’ while parsing a JSON document using JSONGET* functions. It can be important to understand the difference between zero and null in numeric fields. Currently there is no way to interpret ...

    Provide abbreviated names for some of the new builtins

    Many new builtins have "relatively" very long names, it would be nice if some could be provided with shorter abbreviations, specifically thinking about BETWEENEXCLUSIVE - BETWEENEX BETWEENLEFTEXCLUSIVE - BETWEENLEX BETWEENRIGHTEXCLUSIVE - BE...

    Support pointer as third argument in Builtin JSONPUTVALUE()

    PL/I compiler doesn't support pointer as third parameter in JSON built-in JSONPUTVALUE(). If possible - please add support for using pointer as first and third argument to JSON built-ins JSONPUTVALUE(), JSONPUTMEMBER, JSONGETVALUE and JSONGETMEMBER.
