    Hi,

    Currently we use DFHCSDUP format export file.

    So for now it would be sufficient to have this functionality enabled for DFHCSDUP format export file.

    Thanks & Regards,
    Lakshmi

    Hi Lakshmi, CICS CM development are looking to address this RFE. They have found that they can include ADD and DELETE commands to a DFHCSDUP format export file but this is not possible for a BATCHREP export file (due to the requirement
    to specify DEFVER parameter). Can you please confirm if the use case you described only requires the function to support DFHCSDUP format export files?. Thanks.
