Feature/Function & Ease of Use

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?)

 

Documentation is inevitably good for us.  Particularly in sites with multiple system configs in use on a regular basis, being able to place global doc in IPL and ASI could be a great help.  Also, when new features, such as ZONEDEF and ZONEBDY, are announced, one can put the new features in their decks as comments, to be used at a later date,  when running a release that supports said enhancements.

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

 

Allow CC1-2=C'* ' as a valid (yet ignored) statement in ASI & IPL procs.

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