List Omegamon products and versions in Configuration Manager (like PARMGEN).

In PARMGEN, when selection option 3.1 (Set up/Refresh PARMGEN work environment), a list would be shown of all Omegamon products and versions installed in the selected target datasets. With Configuration Manager (CFM) there is no such list, and now that I don't get it I miss it.


The idea would be to produce a list of product names and version numbers for the selected target datasets. CFM could show this list in the KCIPRINT DD when a GENERATE OPTION VALIDATE is done. This to not slow down the GENERATE step itself, and also, this way one may run the VALIDATE option to get this list for a set of target datasets, without impacting the work/RTE datasets.
