Enhance CRUISE (FCRU) displays and messages to provide more information and improve usability

Status displays and Completion Messages

1 Change time-stamp display: The time stamp of the CRUISE status and completion messages does not fit the format of the time-stamp of TPF messages. This makes the display somewhat difficult to read. If the order of the date and time-stamp would be reversed, so the time-stamp of CRUISE messages aligns with the TPF time-stamp it would make the display easier to read and interpret.

Current message format:

CSMP0097I 12.35.51 CPU-0 SS-BSS SSU-WN IS-01

Proposed message format:

2 ID completion messages with ID should include file Version no: One possible format:

This is the same information as in the log display, but need live display to be updated also.

3 The running status display does not include time-stamp for the start date/time of the job. To get the start time a separate log display has to be done. The start date/time should be included in the display.

4 There should be a facility to automatically display status at specified intervals. Currently, the entry has to be made manually or added to the CRET table. It is preferable to have a built-in function for greater flexibility. The display could be the same as with the manual entry or maybe a summary display specifically for the automatic status message. The interval set by the user from 1 to 60 minutes. The status could be a feature of the table as a default and updateable by functional entry while CRUISE is running.
