Enhance Display of Channel/Container Info in CICS Dumps

Currently FA displays Channel info in Level, Commareas, and Channels.
This display is inconvenient when inspecting a dump with a lot of levels and with channels which contain a lot (sometimes hundreds) of containers.
The display of one container consumes 6 lines at a 3270.

I suggest redesign of this display: Make it hierarchic by showing only condensed one-line level info: Name of Load Module, Channel Name, Count of Containers or address of DFHCommarea and Calen and provide links to jump into more detail depending on the Load Module, the Channel.

Display of Channel's Container List should also be condensed to one line per Container: Name, Length and segment preview.

    A redesign of the CICS channels and containers display is now available in a V13 fixtest (details below). If you cannot install the fixtest then alternatively if you can provide me with an email address I will send you some screen images of the new displays.

    An SMP/E packaged fixtest for this PMR is now available from
    ftp://ftp.ecurep.ibm.com/fromibm/mvs/ai24512.r2014261.trs
    for BINARY transfer LRECL 1024 to MVS, then TRSMAIN unpack.
    Note: Restoring any earlier fixtest for the same APAR is not necessary.
    Please let us know of any questions or problems.

    Regards
