Support symbolic substitution in ACTION definition message templates

We want to implement CPSM RTA and generate mails via system automation if a (CPU) limit of a transaction has been reached.<br />Message EYUPN0007W is read by automation and creates a mail to application responsibles.
Unfortunately it is not possible to put the transaction code into the messages text. Thus the most important information for the customer is missing.

    This can be achieved without using C{PSM RTA.

    CICS TS V5.1 introduced policies that can be used to achieve this requirement. In particular a time policy rule type will "define a threshold for the amount of processor time that is used by a user task, and take automatic action if the threshold is exceeded" as described in topic http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/cicsts/v5r1/index.jsp . The policy can be defined with a message action, such that when the policy is breached message DFHMP3001 is issued that contains the task number and transaction id - see topic http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/cicsts/v5r1/topic/com.ibm.cics.ts.productoverview.doc/concepts/policy_actions.html .

    It is possible to define multiple policies - for example the first policy will issue a message when a task consumes more than 2 CPU, the second to abend the task if it consumes more than 5 CPU seconds.
