Finish S option for DB2 error file Organization

There is an S option on the Dialog for generating error messages from a DB2 table. This generated a call in the generated code, but seems to be missing the connection to a DB2 table name.

We would like to be able to use a DB2 table for the error file instead of VSAM.

    We have evaluated this request and determined that it cannot be implemented at this time because it does not fall into IBMs delivery plans. This option was not implemented in Pacbase and we don't know why this option was introduced in RPP... Whilst this RFE might be valid and we might look to deliver longer term, this RFE is being rejected at this time.

    The 'S' option is in the dialog. It is an option for the error file organization.

    Pacbase has been removed from our environment. An image was already attached of the option in RPP.

    This request lacks sufficient information for us to evaluate it. It might not be considered further until it has been revised and clarified. This "S" Option talks to none of us :-) Could you provide a snapshot of the Pacbase screen where you set this ?

    We are moving forward w/ a manual approach using option U instead of option S. A question was sent asking where we saw option S, see attached image.

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
