Customer requires new "Print Member" API call to be used when requesting "Open current output listing" of Endevor element

When selecting the Option ?L' for listing on the CARMA ?Print Element' (RFE screen print #1.doc) screen, we require the API transaction to Print Member instead of Print Listing be called.

It is our understanding that the PDS name to find the listing must be passed as a parameter in the API. We would also like to be able to customize the RDZ client to derive the PDS name so that the user does not have to enter it based upon data available on the element.

The PDS should be derived as follows:

When Endevor TYPE is for ASM / COBOL & C
(ASM, ASMCLC, ASMDB2,ASMSTR, ASMUAT, C, CB2, CB2#S, CB2CDB, CB2CLC, CB2DB2, CB2DB2#S, CLC37 , COB, COBBMS, COB37,C37#SC37CDB,C37DB2, D37#S)


SB9NV.NVPRTO.SSSS.XXYY.LISTING

Where:

SSS is the STG
XX is the SYS
YY is the Subsys

When Endevor TYPE is for a LINK TYPE
( CLNK, LNKAPF, LNKCIC, LNKEDT, LNKEDV, LNKHGN, LNKHGO, LNKONL, LNKUAT )

SB9NV.NVPRTO.SSSS.XXYY.LISTLNK

Where:

SSS is the STG
XX is the SYS
YY is the Subsys
