RFE for CICS CM Package List by Status

In our CSD migration process, we have setup automation to approve, ready, and migrate packages as the package moves from environment to environment. A challenge has been in the use of the batch APIs to extract information on packages that are ready to migrate. This involves parsing the API-created XML in order to create a sequential file with the package information. We would like to request a way to create a sequential file with package information dependent on a particular package state. The current interface using XML is cumbersome and code-intensive.
