Request CICS level DS 2dispatch trace entries be available in level DS 3

Certain CICS trace entries that identify when a dispatch activity changes TCBs are located in level DS 2 type traces while other trace entries for similar dispatch mode changes appear in both level 2 and 3. We request that all dispatch entries that identify a TCE mode change be available in both level 2 and 3 like DS02 and DS03.

Examples are but not limited too:
TI QR DS 0167 DSIT EVENT PULL_RUNNING_TASK_TO_QR

DSTCB T8017 DS 1023 DSAC *EVEN STATE_CHANGE

    This RFE is being declined. The DSAC state change trace point is a state change not a change of TCB. It is true that a TCB switch can occur between these state change traces but most of the time that is not the case. The link to liberty TCB switch happens during a special DS suspend so the suspend trace point should be used, not the state change trace point.

    It is likely that the pull to QR trace point will be made an exception trace.
