WAVV Requirement Form

Date: 02/21/2002 Requirement #: WAVV200224

Product Name: VSE/ESA Product Release#: any

Vendor Name: IBM

Title: (Paraphrase problem in a single statement)PRODEXIT BAM PREOPEN NO SUPPORT FOR IOREG

Detailed Problem Description: (Description of what you want changed - 400 character entry limit)

The current implementation of PRE-OPEN PRODEXIT does not allow setting of an IOREG. It is therefore impossible to bypass IBMs OPEN-PROCESSING if invoker of OPEN has specified IOREG=xx in his/her DTFxx.

Priority: (Select one: Urgent - High - Medium - Low) High

Requested Completion Date: (When? Examples: 3 months, 1 year, Next Release)

Next Release

Requirent Type: (Select one: Acceptability - Compatibility/Migration - Ease of Use - Feature/Function - Performance - Reliability/Availability/Serviceability - Packaging - Interoperability)

Ease of Use (usability of exit)

Business 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?)

A clear interface is superior to any fiddleing with control-blocks and/or saveareas (as $$BOPEN does it when setting the IOREG). The way open does it right now is not an option since there is no partition-save-area in use for the partition and an LTA from which you can change it.

Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a vendors ability to deliver a solution)

Provide an extra field where BAM-PREOPEN-EXIT can return a value that it would like the IOREG to receive. Maybe with a flag that there is data

Impact: (Optional) (How will your company’s business be affected if a solution is not delivered?)

Control-block-fiddling is the only alternative
