    Need a way to prevent IDz from copying zAppBuild/Groovy user build configuration

    It has been observed that during the copying of a program from one project/Git repository to another in IDz, the associated zAppBuild/Groovy user build configuration is also transferred (HLQ, Build groovy script, application,...). The customer sug...

    Introduce new extension, .spcbl, and potentially a new boolean variable. ${IS_SP}, to be used in DBB and other DevOps products for Cobol Stored Procedures.

    Currently there is no easy way to determine if a Cobol program is a Cobol Batch program or a Cobol Stored Procedure. Since they have different compiler options, it is important to be able to indicate to DBB and other DevOps tools which one - Cobol...
