    Allow LIST RECORD consumption to be drifted to ZIIP processors.

    Now, IZDS and IZPCA allow the derivation of a COLLECT to ZIIP, but it is not possible to do the same with a LIST RECORD.It would be good to study the possibility of adapting the LIST RECORD as well.

    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...

    Enable the ability to run the COLLECT batch process of different components in parallel.
