    Make the TSTB size configurable

    We would like to have the option to set the number of tape status table (TSTB) slots to a different value at SIP time. Failing that, we would like to see a larger hardcoded TSTB size. The number of TSTB slots is defined in SIP macro sptabs.mac:&am...

    Day of week and Day of month support for ZSTIM

    ZMDES DISPLAY full path display needed

    ZMDES DISPLAY doesn't always display the full path to files. Comments from the PMR state that file paths are longer than we can fit in the tabular display. Those get shortened. The end of the path is deemed most important, since the assumption is ...
