Title: (Paraphrase problem in a
single statement)Above the line version does
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 Code-1 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 Code-1 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 Code-1 Plus for
VSE that actually works. For other
Group-1 VSE customers, they will not have to discover this problem in Code-1
Plus.
Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a
vendors ability to deliver a solution)
Modify the Code-1 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.
