IMS release level incorrect in INQY ENVIRON data output in IMS 15.2

In IMS 15.2, the INQY ENVIRON call still returns the IMS release level 15.1 (x'0000151F').

Therefore, can you provide the correct IMS release level to the INQY ENVIRON call please.

    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.

    After reviewing this request for enhancement and assessing its potential value, our decision is to add this RFE ID 153535 / Idea IMSTM-I-86 to our backlog . Items in our backlog are expected to be worked on in the next 18 months. We reserve the right to re-prioritize or reject our backlog items as new requests come in. This helps ensure that we are constantly focused on providing the best value to all of our clients. Thank you for your continuous support and interest in the IMS product.

    Have a great day!
