Improve DTCNDELETEDEADPROF to delete only unused profiles for a specific period

Enabling DTCNDELETEDEADPROF parameter causes to delete all profiles after logoff of the user.  Unfortunately, debugger users should redefine deleted profiles at their next logon. A new parameter so to delete only DTCN profiles that have not been used during xy last days should be highly adorable.

Kind regards

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. We feel this is a valid requirement but delivery within the 2 year window is not likely. Please resubmit in 12-18 months for reconsideration if still valid.

    Alternatively, you may want to use remote debugging, where there is feature to save CICS Debug Profile (DTCN) within the IDE workspace.

    Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.
