Externalize BPE TTE and TTVE

In IMS V13, IBM is providing macro HWSUSTAT, which has DSECTs HWSUSTAT and HWSLRCTR. From what I understand these DSECTs document the variable entry variable section of the HWS RCTR BPE external trace records (based on BPETRFM0 output).
These DSECTs appear to be unusable programmatically, since the BPE external trace records have other structures that precede the variable entry variable section. I've been told these structures are the TTE and TTVE, which are in macro BPETTH, which is OCO.
We want to write a program to read the BPE external trace dataset, search for fields in the variable entry variable section, and display a subset of the record therein. To do that, we need a mapping of the structures that precede the variable entry variable section. We are asking that you externalize the relavent DSECTs.

    We reviewed this RFE and at this point in time we will not be able to address this request in the near future. For this reason, we are removing this RFE. If you would like to discuss this further please contact, Daphne Isom, email: dsteele4@us.ibm.com.
