CICSVR V4.2 use of CLIST for generating forward recovery JCL.

The customer's application, by design, uses DASD only log streams to log after images from the onlines. When using the CICSVR CLIST to generate forward recovery JCL, the CLIST automatically executes a scan of every DFHLGLOG defined to the RCDS control file. This is a problem because these are DASD only log streams and the scan will fail if the user is on the wrong LPAR. The user will always be on the wrong LPAR for a particular DFHLGLOG as the CLIST scans the entire list. Customer has strict standards as there is one DFHLGLOG per CICS region.

This new requirement enables the support personnel to generate forward recovery JCL using the CICS VR CLIST by selecting the specific DFHLGLOG(s) to scan.

Change the CLIST to present a screen to the user that allows him/her to select the particular DFHLGLOG to scan. Although we currently only have a requirement to select one DFHLGLOG, IBM can provide the feature to select multiple logs in case this is necessary in the future.
