SMS needs standard exit/parm for CICS VR

ZOS SMS must have an Exit or Parameter to support CICS VR. If exit is used, any issue with CICS VR, we need to Disable this exit.

Module DWW1VS00 cannot be installed in another SMPE zone and place LPA dataset in
right sequence.

    The problem of duplicate named modules in the LPA and having to have libraries in a certain order is described by RFE 20952. The proposed solution for that RFE does not involve use of exits, hence there is no exit requirement on DFSMS

    The problem of duplicate named modules in the LPA and having to have libraries in a certain order is described by RFE 20952. The proposed solution for that RFE does not involve use of exits. A future release of CICS VR could rename the modules in question. DFSMS could be changed to detect the presence or not of CICS VR. This can be achieved in a way that provides compatibility with old and new releases of CICS VR. This removes the duplicate module problem and the requirement to have libraries in a certain order.

    The RFE is a duplicate of 20952.
