Have Shared Temp Storage commands be Threadsafe.

We have many DB2 application that also use Shared Temp Storage and having Shared Temp Storage Threadsafe would eliminate a lot of TCB switching.

    Chuck you are correct. The documentation is incorrect and will be corrected. Shared TS requests run quite happily on L8 open TCBs.

    This RFE is way out_of_date. I just ran a cics auxtrace in my production CICS TS 4.2 region. It confirms that the region's TSSHARED requests are running on an L8 mvs tcb. I believe this has been the case for several years on previous CICS TS releases also.
