The explorer tool to display resource attribute as per defination.

The explorer tool should display resource attribute as per defination for consistency. e.g. avoid -1 to represent NO and so on.

    There are a number of examples whereby the RDO definition value differs from what the SPI returns. The rules of the SPI are that for example it cannot return cvda values for yes and no.

    For example on RDO DEFINE FILE you can specify RLSACCESS(YES) or RLSACCESS(NO). However the SPI for INQUIRE FILE returns RLSACCESS(RLS) or RLASACCESS(NOTRLS).
    This allows filtering in CEMT for example, ie you say
    CEMT I FILE RLS
    to return a list of RLS files.

    You cannot allow
    CEMT I FILE YES
    what would that mean? Yes is a value on the definition which applies to multiple attributes.
    Hence the SPI has to return unique self defining cvda values.

    IBM case # was TS008800042

    This IDEA is requesting that whats specified for various IPCONN

    attributes in the DFHCSD be what CICS Explorer should display.

    The CICS Explorer IPCONN display shows "-1" for port, maxqtime

    and queuelimit when these are defaulting or are set to NO by the

    customer within the DFHCSD.

    The customer feels it would be more consistent to display these

    with the word "NO" instead of a "-1" and understand that a NO value on

    the resource definition translates to -1 on the installed resource.
