OSA queue displays online CDC and Data reduction.

Customer is requesting an  online display to show the number of items on the OSA input lists.   In z/TPF   all three queues should be displayed , the regular OSA input queue,  a high-priority input queue and the  staging queue.   In addition information should be added to Data Reduction/reduction and CDC to show the MIN, MAX, MEAN values.

    Based on priority and effort, IBM does not intend to implement this in the foreseeable future.

    The number of items on the OSA queues varies widely (it tends to come in bursts). It is unclear how this information would be useful.
