Ease of Use

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?)

 

POFFLOAD SAVE is creating a backup of spool entries on tape. The only method currently available to display the tape contents is through PDISPLAY TAPE= command. This command takes more than an hour to complete on a 3480 cartridge, which is unacceptable. An option to create a spool entry containing tape contents while creating the tape will increase productivity by saving this listing for later use.  

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

 

     

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