Discontinue MVS getmains for NQ element areas when EDSA is depleted.

Currently, when ECDSA is depleted, NQ element areas are getmain'd from high private. This can ead to a situation, particularly when there is perhaps a rogue transaction in a loop, where instead of an SOS condition which can be remediated with dtimout and task purge, the region experiences an abend s878 or other similar-type MVS getmain abends.

    This requirement has been re-evaluated. Looking at current plans, it is not likely that this would be implemented in the next two CICS TS releases, so correspondingly this requirement is being rejected. You have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be considered then.
