Improve CQS design to access IMS Logger Structure

Following the MVS System Logger's current design, reported by pmr 23734,228,631, the ASYNC logger calls to a CF Logger structure result in extra SRB schedule and processing for the logging explorers. Now that we are aware of this, if the logger ca...

Function to expire a transaction during execution

The current transaction expiry feature for full function transactions uses the in-queue time to decide whether to process the transaction or not. Once the transaction starts executing there is the PROCLIM value to specify a CPU limit, but no oppor...
