The limit of CPLREC12 record

ZWS has CPLREC12 record in CP.
The record is written all external successor ADs each operation of an CP occurrence in DP batch and MCP process.
The record is only used to resolve external successor dependencies in MCP process.

This record has up to 1,000 ADs but for a complicates job net, sometimes the restriction is exceed.

The record is so important for resolve the external successors in MCP, the lack of the record leads the lost of external dependencies.

ZWS can issue the EQQ0370W message when the restriction is exceed in DP batch but our customer hopes the abolition of the restriction.

In my investigation, the restriction of external successors is mitigated in OPC V1.3.1 from 400 to 1,000.
However, the restriction of up to 1,000 is seemed to be related in the maximum length of VSAM (KSDS) record at the time.
Because the restriction of VSAM was abolition long ago, I think the restriction of CPLREC12 record is able to be abolition in technical.
