Make COBOL/LE CALL more visible in CICS trace

It can be very difficult to debug CICS transactions that do a number of COBOL/LE CALLs. It would help very much if there was a CICS TRACE entry written when a CALLed program is entered and exited. I am not sure if the TRACE record would be written...

CPU time reported by CICS *does not* include dependent enclave time. The IEF033I message *does* include dependent enclave time. The dependent enclave time is accumulated in the enclave's ENCB control block, and is then added into the enclave-ownin...

Provide ABSTIME format EIB Date/Time in EIB with task start

Provide ABSTIME format date/time at CICS transaction startup along with EIBDATE/EIBTIME. This could eliminate several ASKTIME calls that are issued not only by one or more application programs in a task but also by several of our TRUE/GLUE exits t...

Remove the requirement for a transid to be specified so programs can be routed

Programs cannot be routed by CICS by their name alone. A transaction ID that can be routed also has to be specified. This restriction in some cases forces the use of a customised routing program to route programs dynamically.
