Title: (Paraphrase problem in a
single statement)Add better printer support
to DBS utility
Detailed
Problem Description: (Description of what you want changed - 400 character entry limit)
Output from the DBS batch
utility is sent by default to SYSLST. For DB2/VSE the width of output reports
may be a maximum of 121 (120+cc). In DB2/VM this can be overridden to a max of
256. This VSE limitation is very problematic for queries that can return many
columns of varying width because the output wraps. The output should be as
"wide" as necessary, up to the current Power limitation of 512.

Justification: (Why? Non-technical
business case description. Do not reword Detailed Problem
Description from above. What are the benefits to be gained by your
company, and the vendor and others? Quantify:
run time, dollars, manpower, etc. Why
should the vendor do this for the customer?)
Because of this limitation, DBS is pretty
useless to produce readable batch queries of any content. We've had to find
other solutions or circumventions, none of which are good. DB2/VSE should have
the same, if not better, functionality as that of DB2/VM.
Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a
vendors ability to deliver a solution)
Allow assignment to any logical printer and
increase the SET LINEWIDTH parameter to the maximum supported by POWER.
Impact: (Optional) (How
will your company’s business be affected if a solution is not delivered?)
Will have to continue to find other ways to
produce batch queries that are readable.
