    After discussion with the client the followinf has been agreed on....

    - Must include a subset of information from the existing "F02: DB2 SQL Activity Timeline", the existing "I02: IMS DL/I Call Timeline", and the new "Q11: MQ/MQ+ Activity Timeline" which will be delivered in the spring of 2015 in APA Version 13.

    - Must have fields are:
    - Call Time
    - Function ( SQL Function | DLI Function Code | MQ Call Type)
    - Object (DBRM Name | IMS PCB Name | MQ Object Name)
    - Service Time (also referred to as duration or elapsed time)

    - Nice to have fields are:
    - Return Code (SQL Code | DL/I Status Code | MQ Completion Code)
    - Hyperlink to original timeline report (F02 | I02 | Q11)

    - CPU time is not required.

    - By default, the combined report will be sorted by Call Time. The ability to sort by Service Time is also needed.

    - Wellpoint is not currently an APA plugin user, and have requested this report be available in the APA ISPF interface. They accept that some fields may be truncated to fit within an 80 character width screen.

    Currently no dates have been promised for this functionality.
