Change ASMA033I severity from 0 to 4

Our product requires 241 separate assemblies. When reviewing a gen, we take closer looks at any assembly having a non-0 completion code. ASMA033I errors currently are SEV 0. That means that they get missed when a GEN is reviewed. If they were chan...

Permit named PUSH/POP statements

When the assembler reaches an END statement, and there remains unPOP'd PUSH USINGs, it issues ASMA138W . Well, in large complex assemblies, finding the unPOP'd PUSH or PUSHs can be rather a challenge. In my own coding, I have solved that by replac...

Fully support 32-bit EQUs (maybe even 64-bit EQUs as well)

The assembler's support of 32-bit EQUs is arcane, to say the least. Consider: EQU1 EQU X'80000000' EQU2 EQU X'80000000'+1 EQU3 EQU X'7FFFFFFF'+1 The EQU1 and EQU2 statements are fine.The EQU3 statement gets flagged with ASMA074E. I do understand t...

INQUIRE TSQNAME for remote TS on TSOR (TSMODEL)

I need to know if a TS is already used by someone else. TS are routed to another CICS, via a TSMODEL defintion. TS are created in the TSOR. But an INQUIRE TS in the router CICS doesn't INQUIRE the TS list in the routed CICS, but localy.

CPSM BATCHREP error handling.

Using program EYU9XDBC to run BATCHREP in batch. Once the program has managed to connect to CPSM a return code of 0 is always returned regardless of the outcome. I do appreciate that the request is offloaded to run in the CMAS and the output is pr...

CICS Explorer: Option to leave BATCHREP view open

When using the new "Perform Batched Repository-Update Job Operation" it would be good to have an option to keep the window open in order to submit another request without having to "Definitions ->Submit Batch...." every time.

Transaction Userid should be used for the authorization of Commands submitted by MPP Pgm through CSLOMCMD or REXX SPOC API

Currently the Userid used to submit a Command through CSLOMCMD Macro used by a AOP Program that runs in a MPP within the processing of a Transaction is the MPP Region Userid and not the Userid of the User that submitted the Transaction.IMS should ...

Increase performance of OTMA CM0 tpipes

Using CM0 IMS logging of intput and output messages becomes a bottleneck as message throughput increases on a tpipe. This is often hard to discern as internal transaction responses are unaffected but messages may be significantly delayed on enteri...
