    Add additional statistics to the DLRACCT stats area

    Adding additional metrics to the DLRACCT data area will provide better insight into where units of work are spending time and help identify bottlenecks. Currently, field DLRESAF provides a total number of ESAF Normal calls. Would like to see this ...

    Make IBM Fault analyzer to work with BLKOFF option as well

    In our organization we have used BLKOFF as default option while compiling programs and now to introduce Fault analyzer its not an easy transition as by default we are not able to use the existing compile listing as side files. We have to re-compil...

    Initial READ-Intent for a PCB until a DLI GET-HOLD call or ISRT call is issued

    All PCBs in a PSB should have an initial Read-Intent regardless which PROCOPT is coded. If an Update-Intent is coded for a PCB it only should become active when the first GET-HOLD call or ISRT call is issued against that PCB. This will cause fewer...

    Move DLI OSAM and VSAM control blocks above the bar

    There are many OSAM and VSAM storage control blocks that are currently stored below the line. The use of HALDB databases and number of databases datasets defined to IMS is always increasing. HALDB also requires additional dataset to cater for Seco...

    Enhance IMS to be able to do decimal compares on DL/I calls

    Current IMS only performs binary compares when a DL/I call contains a qualified SSA. This is a problem for packed and zoned decimal values and comparisons with >, >=, < and <=. Because IMS only performs binary comparisons a DL/I call c...
