WAVV Requirement Form

 

Date: 3/18/2002                                           Requirement #:  WAVV200236

Product Name:    POWER       Product Release#: 6.5

Vendor Name:     IBM

 

Title: (Paraphrase problem in a single statement)Enhance ability to override default settings

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

 

There is currently no way to override POWER's default settings for commands that generate output to the LST queue such as PDISPLAY ALL,TAPE=cuu,OUT=LST. POWER has "hard-coded" the class, disposition and priority of such items.

                                                                                            

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

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

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

Functionality

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?)

 

It would help our operations staff if we could determine how output of this nature gets generated to the LST queue instead of having to live with default values.

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

 

Add either 1) a new setting in the POWER gen macro to set these defaults or 2) auto-start statements that will allow override of POWER defaults.

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

 

It will make life a bit easier for operations when searching for and printing items of this type. For example, the items should not start printing if the printer happens to be started for Class A but they will because the default is DISP=D.
