Thread Safety for PL/I programs with CICS IA

For PL/I programs compiled with RENT option, CICS IA cannot correctly attribute the EXEC CICS commands to the actual program. In fact, CICS IA attributes all EXEC CICS commands to program CEEEV003.

This limitation should be relieved.

    Thank you for raising this Idea as suggested.

    After discussion, it is not likely that this could be implemented within the next 12 months based on our current plans and priorities. As a result, we are marking this Idea as 'Not Under Consideration' at this point. It will remain in our system, however, and we may reassess this in future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit this Idea in twelve months' time, if you wish it to be reconsidered then.

    This is something we will consider and therefore will mark it as "Uncommitted Candidate" for now. We will evaluate if this is possible for PL/1 programs.
