Column /Freeze in CICS Explorer

the ability to freeze a column (or columns) in the resource/region views of explorer. This would apply, minimally, base exporer, within the CICS SM perspective as well as to the CTG plugin..

Many resource displays have, pontentially many dozens of columns, As you scroll right, it's quite difficult to know which row pertains to which specific resource or region.

If a column, of the user's choosing (or, alternatively the column that identifies the specifc row (region name, file name, etc) can be frozen, i.e., made not to scroll horizontally- this would make the information much more readable.

    This requirement has been re-evaluated.  Looking at current plans, it is not likely that this would be implemented in the next two CICS TS releases, so correspondingly this requirement is being rejected. You have an opportunity to resubmit in eighteen months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.
