    IBM has reviewed this request and determined that the RFE will not be implemented at this time for the following reasons:
    - The existing infrastructure does not provide a means for Data Collection to track the requested system resources for LP and normal priority ECBs.
    - Similar metrics are already available through the use of ZMOWN and should provide the necessary information to evaluate the performance and quantify the impact of LP ECBs.
