z/OS Connect should provide a feedback to the application when a timeout occurs

When an application takes longer to process a request than the timeouts configured or defaulted in z/OS Connect, z/OS Connect reutuns a 'timed out' error to the user. However when the application (eventually) responds with output, it is not inform...

DFHLS2WS needs to support new COBOL standards that allow to leave out FILLERs

Newer COBOL compilers allow that FILLERs don't have to be specified explicitely any more. But these structures fail when fed into DFHLS2WS. e.g. 01 REQUEST. 10 PIC X(08). 10 FELD1 PIC X(08). 10 FILLER PIC X(08). 10 FELD2 PIC X(08).and 01 REQUEST. ...

More precisely SOAP fault text - Internal Server Error

Client connectivity into CICS UMDTs and TSQs

We use UMDTs (Data tables) and TSQs in CICS as data stores. However, these can only be accessed by a program running in CICS. We requests that non-mainframe applications can access these data stores (UMDTs and TSQs) without requiring an applicatio...

Better diagnostic of desynchronization of generated files

The flag of desynchronization of generated elements does not indicate how much the generated code is impacted. A change in a design file can lead to a very limited change in the generated code, for example purely cosmetic change like indentation, ...
