A utility might work. But what technologies would the utility use?

And what about cases where we want to perform some complex business logic in generating the JSON response? I really hate working with beastly SQL statements. I find them harder to understand and harder to debug than other programming languages.

And what if we want to make use of other IBM i data resources such as data areas, data queues, spooled files, or IFS files?

I am an RPG programmer, and I do almost all of the things you mention
using DB2 stored procedures written in RPG. Essentially, one writes a
regular program with a parameter list that matches what DB2 expects to
see, and then register that as a stored procedure via CREATE PROCEDURE
LANGUAGE RPGLE. Or, in your case, COBOLLE. Anything you can do in a
batch program can be exposed as a stored procedure with a little work.
