    A new compilation option (rule) DISPLAYCHECK is required

    Dear Madam/Sir, In the frame of ensuring enhanced code quality, we would like to implement a new COBOL compiler option (rule) so an error or warning to be issued in case of existing DISPLAY statements in a program. The new parameter could be DISPL...

    Provide job to list the status of all Alerts in a specified C2PCUST dataset

    We have potentially 25 LPARs across 5 sysplexes to manage, each with their own set of Alerts (each LPAR has its own C2PCUST library). zSecure Alert provides online (i.e. via ISPF) access to see the status of these alerts. However, signing on to 25...

    IBM Enterprise COBOL - Add a report of lines impacted by the REPLACE compiler directive

    Hi, The REPLACE compiler directive allows replacements of COBOL source text, a priori after processing the COPY directives: from the point where it is declared until the end of the source code, or until the REPLACE OFF directive. However, it...

    zSecure - add owner to default alert 1401

    The current zSecure Alert 1401 reporting unix access violations provides great information on what (access) happened where (path). However, it would be great if the owner user:group can be added to the default alert.

    IBM Enterprise COBOL - Display ISPF statistics ID information in COPY/BASIS cross-references

    Hi, The COPY/BASIS cross-references display ISPF statistics for copies from PDS: creation date, modification date, and time. We would like the ISPF statistics ID information to also be included in the COPY/BASIS cross-references.--> We use this...

    REGEX Function like in PL/I

    Hi IBM, you've delivered the REGEX function in PL/I for the use of regular expressions in string searches. This would be nice in Cobol as intrinsic function too. Regards, Michael

    IP filter rule enhancement to include IKED (IPsec Policy)

    Alert 1615 only covers changes to the IP rules defined in the TCPIP Profile statement IPSEC->IPSECR<-ENDIPSEC. As we are supposed to use Policy Agent to configure IPsec rules, this alert is then kind of 'useless' as this default IPSECR state...

    Send alerts that were produced from events while zAlert was not active

    It would be very helpful if for any reason zAlert is down for a period of time, any alert that would have been generated otherwise, to be able to be sent to a defined destination. This way, no alert recording will be lost. The batch job that is us...

    Add a Descriptor and/or Route Code to DISPLAY UPON CONSOLE like in PL/I to do WTO (ASM)

    Today, the DISPLAY UPON CONSOLE statement has a default Desciptor Code of 2 and a Route Code of 3. For automated log processing, it is important to be able to specify these codes. The only way today is to call an Assembler program performing WTO. ...
