Uniform (preferably JSON) format of MQ command output also on z/OS

MQ command output is used for monitoring, administration and analysis of MQ on different platforms.

It would be useful to have uniform format for different platforms including z/OS. Preferable command output format is JSON.

In that case one can collect, parse and interpret platform independent MQ data in same practical format. 
The same (semi)automated process for data processing can be applied then for MQ on all platforms including z/OS.

    The JSON formatted command support in the REST API was designed for those MQSC commands which follow the standard MQSC format with attributes consisting of name-value pairs.

    A number of z/OS commands, such as DIS LOG, DIS SYSTEM, DIS USAGE, DIS THREAD, etc don't follow this pattern which is why we didn't implement support for them. In general they are hard to parse in a consistent way.

    They are however available via the MQSC REST API: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ibm-mq/9.3?topic=adminactionqmgrqmgrnamemqsc-post-plain-text-mqsc-command so there is still a RESTful way to run those commands. Use of this API is close to the JSON based approach so you should hopefully be able to use it in your existing process.

    We are unlikely to adjust the JSON API to include these commands in the future.
