ADDI: Recognition of an IMS database call that takes place in a home-grown interface

1. Our dynamic resolution algorithm does not support Pointers, therefore calls like the one below are not resolved:
CALL CBLTDLI-ProcPointer USING Dummy-P03
Dummy-P04
Dummy-P05
Dummy-P06
2. Our dynamic resolution mechanism does not support SET ... TO ENTRY ... statement, therefore the statements like the one below are not resolved:
set CBLTDLI-ProcPointer to entry CBLTDLI
3.The AIBTDLI interface is not supported in our Cobol compiler.
4 We do not have support for interpreting the logic inside that custom central subroutine . At this point there is no way to map such communication; being a customization in the customer environment.

    Separate RFEs 149736, 149734, and 149733 created to replace this one, therefore we are rejecting this one.

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.
