Modify EXEC CICS ENABLE to permit specifying conditions for when the exit program is to be driven


Could EXEC CICS ENABLE command be modified to specify a condition for when an exit program could be driven. Conditional execution could be based on CICS resources such as task number, transaction name or program name for example.

Maybe we could have a flag passed to our GLUE's when CICS invokes them, to say this is a resource of interest to us.

    Implementing such function would blur the lines between a GLUE and a TRUE and its is not clear it would be useful to other products. Typically a GLUE is enabled so that it is driven by all tasks that pass through that piece of code, not just some tasks.
    We have no current plans for this to be implemented and so this idea is being declined.
