    Idea is to have the current value and the threshold value in the OC8900, OC8902 or OC8903 messages when they are triggering the events.

    It will be useful to know the actual value at the time of the issue which will help everyone to understand the situation at that point of time when we have an email notification email/alert. we are expecting the values in the N/A > N/A. This wi...

    Introduce new extension, .spcbl, and potentially a new boolean variable. ${IS_SP}, to be used in DBB and other DevOps products for Cobol Stored Procedures.

    Currently there is no easy way to determine if a Cobol program is a Cobol Batch program or a Cobol Stored Procedure. Since they have different compiler options, it is important to be able to indicate to DBB and other DevOps tools which one - Cobol...

    Package DBB as a z/OS Container image

    After the introduction of the z/OS Container Platform we want to leverage that and package our build framework (based on DBB) into a container. This allows us to more easily decide what version of DBB we work with and can more easily add features ...

    DBB has IS_CICS and IS_SQL , but it is missing is_SP , or maybe we can add a IS_CUST to use for custom processing ?

    DB2 STORE PROCEDURES can require different compiler options to DB2 programs ( IS_SQL). At the moment there is no way to differentiate between DB2 programs and DB2 store procedures . I wonder if we can even add a IS_CUST so that it can be used for ...

    Increase size of DB2 column LF_LNAME in table LOGICAL_FILE to accomodate larger input file names.
