Show list of changed resources before INGAMS REFRESH

When a new ACF is loaded it is not visible which changes will be activated when this ACF is refreshed. Especially on a production system this is an unwanted situation.
Therefor we've made our own rexx. This rexx will check the timestamp in the new ACF fragments and will compare them with the timestamps of the currently active ACF.
All resources with a changed timestamp will be listed. That way we know at least which resources are changed and will be activated when the new ACF is loaded.
A while ago we've created a case because the timestamps were not altered for a subsystem which was changed (TS005404382).
In discussion with Bobby Dixon from IBM we've talked about this feature and that it would be quite handy if this would become part of the SA product.
I've also asked on the SAUser group on groups.io to see if more peope would be interested and there are more customers who made their own rexx, for the exact same reason. Some do not have their own rexx but would really want this functionality.

    I thought I answered this question but I don't see my response.

    But, I could you send you a copy of my Rexx. The rexx has 2 functions, do the precheck, so the check this RFE is about and also some checks after the ACF has been loaded. But these are quite Rabo specific.
    So I will need to remove some lines which are not needed. But that's not a problem.

    How could I send you the copy of my rexx?
