CTG COBOL Batch interface like BAQCSTUB - CTGCSTUB.

Rather than using Batch COBOL EXCI to single CICS region, have a COBOL Call interface like zCEE BAQCSTUB. This would allow for CPSM Workload distribution, across target Batch Processing regions. Topology of (Batch Owning Region),.. BOR --> AOR type of config having HA exit and Simple Monitor available for tuning . Using TCP, would be less influenced by EXCI Pipe limitations etc. Our environment uses a lot of EXCI batch.
