not work
Detailed
Problem Description: (Description of what you want changed - 400 character entry limit)
For more than two years, Group
1 has been distributing what they call an above the line version of Mailstream
Plus for VSE, which is supposed to support 31 bit addressing. My company has
never been able to get it to work on a VSE system that has partitions with
sufficient 31 bit storage that the Mailstream Plus program phases reside in and
access 31-bit storage.

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?)
The benefits to my company will be avoiding all
of the related costs of a migration to OS/390.
For Group 1, they will have an above the line version of Mailstream Plus
for VSE that actually works. For other
Group-1 VSE customers, they will not have to discover this problem in
Mailstream Plus.
Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a
vendors ability to deliver a solution)
Modify the Mailstream Plus phases that have
requirements to use only 24 bit addresses to do I/O, etc. , to ensure that they
are using 24 bit addresses.
Impact: (Optional) (How
will your company’s business be affected if a solution is not delivered?)
My company will be forced into a migration to
OS/390 or to add an aditional VSE LPAR specifically for running Code-1 Plus to
provide 24 bit virtual storage constraint relief in our three existing VSE
batch LPARs.
