    Thank you for submitting this RFE. I have discussed it in detail with CICS PA development and unfortunately we are not able to address this requirement because: this would be a major architectural change for CICS PA; and CICS PA's processing of SMF data and reporting has been significantly optimized over the years.

    However, if you would like to discuss how to make the running of your daily CICS PA reports as efficient as possible, I am happy to schedule a call with CICS PA development to discuss this.
