Enhance CICSPA to support COLLENGTH for TASKCNT on PROFILING report

The amount of transaction volume on our production LPAR causes this field to be displayed with exponential notation usually with an E2 or E3 suffix. For accuracy it is preferred to have a complete number for this field.

    Thank you for raising this Idea.

    We have reviewed this suggestion, and concluded that it is not likely that this enhancement could be implemented in the next 12 months due to other priorities. Consequently, this requirement is not under consideration at this point. The requirement will be kept in our system, however, and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months' time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.

    Thank you for raising this Idea.

    In order for us to better understand the impact of this issue, please could you provide the following information?:

    • How often is the Profiling report is run?

    • Are the TASKCNT exponential numbers displayed in the Report, Baseline, Delta, or all fields?

    • The Profiling report provides the Report variances to the Baseline in both Delta, i.e. count, and Change%, therefore how significant and what's the impact of not seeing the actual low order TASKCNT digits, especially in context of such large TASKCNT numbers?

    Forms are designed to be used by various reports, thus avoiding the need to have specific Forms for specific reports. The approach means that the Forms support several options, but not all options are supported by all reports that use the Form, an example being Offset/Length are only supported in the Performance List and Summary report and no other report. This ability to specify the same Form in several reports means that we feel that it would not be appropriate to issue warning messages in every report that does not support one or more Form option.
