Provide API to obtain IMS Restart time

Our applications are critical to large company telecommunications systems and we supply a support screen via an IMS 3270 TP transaction which shows system environment information, including installed release levels, IMS Catalog Status, and other z/OS and IMS information.

Many times when investigating issues we need to know when the last time IMS was restarted. (SCDCKTIM). It would be much easier to have the client access our environment screen and send us the information on the restart rather than having to look at the IMS control region or console information.

An API would allow us to supply this information, critical to our problem resolution in some cases, in a timely manner.

    IMS support here, I've reviewed our codes and INQY call. It seems a good enhancement to add start/restart time in something like INQY ENVIRON or ENVIRON2.
