Test Data Generation support for COBOL statements in CICS application

Without support for COBOL statment(perform, inspect), KB can't use Test Data Generation function. Especially, the limit of "INSPECT, PERFORM" status should be removed or resolved.

DBCS character set(1364) support

All EBCDIC data is interpreted as Codepage-1047 (English) and then converted back to UTF-8, which is sometimes inaccurate. if 1364 DBCS character set is supported, then this problem can be solved.

Sysplex support

KB is using TSQ, NCS(Name Count Server) in CICS COBOL applicaion in sysplex environment and so, to test COBOL program using ODT, Syspolex support is essential to use TSQ, NCS.

IBM Case TS017276945 - TPF Queue Manager MQ Channels using MVIPA do not maintain MQ Message Sequence Number when the active CPU changes resulting in error MQSC0347E "Channel Stopped Because of Message Sequence Errors". This puts TPF MQ at a distinct disadvantage

ISSUE: Travelport uses Moveable VIPA (MVIPA) in MQ to provide a floating IP to the TPF Queue Manager on any CPU (a single Redundant connection point for the Remote End). This serves as TPF's equivalent of High Availability (HA) which is available ...

Extension of the collection formula limit for ITM Distributed and ITMz

We are unable to create a history collection with a filter for the attribute group KS3_DASD_SUMM, for example. The plain collection for KS3_DASD_SUMM, with no filters added, is already 952 characters long, due to so many columns in it. This leaves...

Support debugging specific steps inside a PROC

Given the "Debug as" feature, the debug configuration fails to detect inherited steps when the JCL under test uses a PROC. Only the steps in the main JCL are provided for selection. I suggest to analyse or pre-process the JCL by the debug launch c...
