ICAL Synchronous callout to MQ destination

Today we see an increasing demand from our IMS application developers to be able to reach out to applications outside the mainframe and wait for a reply. Many of these outside applications are housed in environments where MQ is a preferred way of communication. Thus in order to relieve the programmers from the task of exploring the native MQ-API it would be an elegant solution if it would be made possible to use the ICAL call to perform a synchronous callout to a MQ destination in a similar manner as calling another IMS transaction.

    Dear Per Lofgren:

    Thank you for submitting this IMS enhancement request.
    After giving the request a comprehensive review, we have determined that we cannot include it as a candidate in an upcoming release because the request has a high implementation cost. As a consequence we have, unfortunately, rejected this request.

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

    Sincerely,
    Jack Yuan
