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...

Logging of DLI Batch Jobs With DBRC Information

Our organization uses IMS DB as the core of various systems. We do regular backups and change accumulation processes. We've had 2 recent instances where a particular database got corrupted or damaged and needed to restore this database. We went th...

64 Bit Addressing for Full Function DB Buffer Pools

Exploitation of 64 bit address space for Full Function DB for both OSAM and VSAM buffer pools (similar to current DB2's capabiltities).

Dynamic allocation of Full Function databases from Recon

IMS Fast Path database datasets are dynamically allocated using the information registered in the Recon datasets. We would like the same to apply to Full Function databases.

DL/I Call Resource Governor

IMS should support a resource governor facility which can abort an inflight DL/I call after a certain amount of CPU, I/O, or elapsed time. The abort should abend the UR. This will help prevent situations where a problematic long running DL/I call ...
