Package -- Special Instructions Field

On the package panel, the product currently has an External Reference field. The customer would like an additional option on this screen of "Special Instructions" that accepts a Y/N option. When the product scrolls down an additional freeform field for Special Instructions is available. This field should be a minimum of 20 lines by 78 characters (20 x 78 = 1,560 bytes). The customer can then type whatever instructions are required.

In addition, the customer would like an exit before the Special Instructions field is displayed and an exit after the Special Instructions are entered. They would like to force the Special Instructions field to Y (non-modifiable) and preload the field with canned questions. Then they will verify in the exit that the questions were answered.

    Rejecting as this is not something that has been requested by any other customer. CICS CM does provide exits Change Package pre-processing and post-processing exits which can be used to achieve what has been described here.
