Treat CPUTIME and COUNT in PROCLIM independent of each other in determining U240 Tran abend

Currently, a transaction can have a max time equal to the product of
CPU-time-per-transaction and count as specified in the PROCLIM parm. This means that if the count needs to be adjusted for tuning purposes, it will have an impact to how long a looping transaction will have before it gets abended.

It would be ideal to have CPUTIME behave the same way for FF as it does for FP where COUNT and CPUTIME are independent of each other. This means that if there are 10 trans on that particular schedule with a 1 sec time, instead of allowing 1 tran a max of 10 sec, it can only go up to 1 sec before it gets terminated.

    Hi Michael Tutor,

    Thank you for your interest in keeping IMS a vital and successful product. Software development has continuously evolved during IMS's lifetime, and so has IMS itself. We have kept pace with, adopted, and implemented many industry standard best practices within our organization, including Continuous Delivery, Design Thinking, and Agile.

    When choosing new features to add from the list of requirements in our backlog, we assess which will bring the most value to as many clients as possible and prioritize those.

    At this time, after reviewing this request for enhancement and assessing its potential value, we have decided to reject it. The reason we are rejecting RFE ID 39364 is because it is not our product direction to provide this function. The requested requirement will affect the current behavior on how the CPU time is calculated which might have undesired effect for the existing clients.

    Thank you for your continue support with IMS.
