Request new system call from LE on z/OS platform

We have a client who's using C++ collate transform() functions; and has reported an issue with its functionality.

After our investigation, our development team has determined that in order to get the desired functionality, we rely on some new functions from the LE team:
size_t n_strxfrm_l(char *outputBegin, const char *InputBegin, const char *InputEnd, size_t & outputMaxLength, const locale_t locale)
size_t n_wcsxfrm_l(wchar_t * outputBegin, const wchar_t * InputBegin, const wchar_t *InputEnd, size_t & outputMaxLength, const locale_t locale)

They are similar to POSIX system call strxfrm_l and wcsxfrm_l. But they consume one more parameter, which is the char pointer to the end of the source string.
strxfrm_l and wcsxfrm_l stop once they hit the NULL char in the source string, but the new system call that we are requesting stop only when we reach the char pointer that points to the end of the source string.

    This item is a valid requirement but unlikely to be given high enough priority to be placed into the product plan. If this requirement is high value, please re-open it, or open a new requirement.
