CICS Event Policy Processing - Message Insert - add GT an LT Operator Conditional

When defining a CICS Policy to trigger a Message Event currently there is:

Equals; Does Not Equal; Does Not Start With; Starts With.

There is no Greater Than or Less than Condition.

For Message DFHDS0102, there are text strings that represent Percents of QR TCB Usage;

  • Message Insert4 - CPU Dispatch %

  • Message Insert5 - QR Saturation %

I'd like to trigger the event, based upon Insert Text values:

  • if Insert4 Percentage is < 30.00%

  • If Insert5 Percentage is > 65.00%

For Example message Text:

DFHDS0102 I 01/21/2026 17:13:17 EAZ2CICG QR TCB CPU / dispatch ratio: 67.94%. QR TCB dispatch / interval ratio: 65.04%.

This would trigger the Adapter LINK, only if the Message Inserts meet the Text range criteria.
