Allow IMS/MFS/OLP(operator logical pagin) to page beyond 4096 screens

Unknown to most, there currently is a limit of 4096 screens that can be returned (IOPCB type output) using MFS OLP feature (Operator Logical Paging).

We are currently hitting this limit in our software at several large telco clients. The limit is/was hard coded in module DFSCFEP0 many moons ago.

Since then, our clients have developed scripting tools which process this output amazingly quickly.

We'd like this limit to be expanded to at least 9999 from the current 4096.

    Hi Paul,

    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 this RFE is due to higher priority items preventing us from delivering RFEs within 18 months. You are welcome to resubmit this RFE at a later date and we will reconsider.

    We appreciate your input to IMS, and we hope that you will continue to submit ideas for improvements as customer feedback is a key component to shaping the future direction of IMS.

    Thank you.

    Sincerely
    Swetha Sridharan
