Extension of NEWC in CICS

We need an extension to CEMT SET PROGRAM(*) NEWCOPY. It should be possible that that this command could be restricted to a certain dataset or LIBRARY e.g. CEMT SET PROGRAM(*) NEWCOPY DSN('A.B.C') or CEMT SET PROGRAM(*) NEWCOPY LIB(ABC).

    Whilst this requirement is valid, based on our current plans and priorities, it is not likely that this could be implemented in the next 12 months, or in the next CICS TS release. Correspondingly this requirement is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.

    Comment from Rainer Nowak copied over from 61416:

    Hello,
    I often need to NEWCOPY all the programs from one dataset after a COMPRESS of the dataset. So a CEMT SET PROGRAM ALL NEWCOPY DSN(x.y.z) would be very helpfull.
    Best regards,
    Rainer Nowak

    Comment from Helmut Nimmerfall copied over from 62416:

    Yes, I am aware of the new capability in CICS Transaction Server 5.2. But what happens if you are still not on 5.2? And even if you are there is no need to define bundles and applications. This subject does not apply to user applications but to load libraries of vendor products.
    Here an example:
    CEDA Expand LIbrary( CONNECTS )
    LIbrary : CONNECTS
    Group : Y$AOR##
    DEScription ==> LIBRARIES FOR CONNECTED PRODUCTS
    Ranking ==> 20 1-9 ! 11-99
    CRitical ==> No No ! Yes
    Status ==> Enabled Enabled ! Disabled
    DATA SET NAMES
    DSNAME01 ==>
    DSNAME02 ==>
    DSNAME03 ==>
    DSNAME04 ==>
    DSNAME05 ==>
    DSNAME06 ==> IZS.XV1.LOADCIC
    DSNAME07 ==>
    DSNAME08 ==>
    DSNAME09 ==>

    Because of new maintenance there is a new load library

    CEDA Expand LIbrary( CONNECTS )
    LIbrary : CONNECTS
    Group : Y$AOR##
    DEScription ==> LIBRARIES FOR CONNECTED PRODUCTS
    Ranking ==> 20 1-9 ! 11-99
    CRitical ==> No No ! Yes
    Status ==> Enabled Enabled ! Disabled
    DATA SET NAMES
    DSNAME01 ==>
    DSNAME02 ==> IZS.XV2.LOADCIC.NEXT
    DSNAME03 ==>
    DSNAME04 ==>
    DSNAME05 ==>
    DSNAME06 ==> IZS.XV1.LOADCIC
    DSNAME07 ==>

    So I would like to do a NEWC only for IZS.XV2.LOADCIC.NEXT after I have done a DISCARD and INSTALL of this LIBRARY definition.

    Thanks and regards
    Helmut Nimmerfall

    Comment from IBM copied over from 62416:

    Please can you give more details of the usecase and what is wanted here. What is the requirement for newcopying from a particular dataset or library ? Are you aware of the new capability in CICS Transaction Server 5.2 which provides for library definitions that are private to a particular applicaation version, which for example allows for more than one version of a cobol program to be active in a CICS region.

    This RFE has been copied from 62416 which will be deleted due to problems with the RFE bridge replicating to IBM's back end TC system. Comments will be copied over from 62416.
