SAP PPD - scripting in automation sequence

Hi Experts,

has anyone also faced the issue while working with automation sequences as we have to use multiple calculation (Pco function block ) to extract the data from the input request.

for eg, if i have input like -

{"Header": { "Data_Source_ID": "321", "Transaction Number": "371", "Message length": "0", "DataLayoutId": "230", "DataLayoutVersion": "1", "UnitResult": "0", "PalletId": "00001", "OperationId": "Opr1", "StationId": "StationName" }}

and we need to fetch value of station, operation, Pallet, unitResult, transactionnumber and Data source id then i need to have multiple function block just to fetch the value of above tags from the request.

this will increase the complexity of the PPD as well as increase the count of the function call.

to reduce the above things, can we not introduce the scripting into the automation sequences? Please let us know if there are any other way to get the values of these params from the structure.
