WAVV Requirement Form

 

Date: 4/22/2003                                            Requirement #:  WAVV200317

Product Name:           DB2/VSE    Product Release# (or state “current”): 7.1

Vendor Name:           IBM

 

Title: (Paraphrase problem in a single statement)Print pre-processor options in use on listing

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

 

When the DB2 pre-processor executes and generates its listing, it is not clear which options were in effect at the time of the compile. They do not appear on the listing.

                                                                                            

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

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)

Ease of Use/Serviceability

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 save problem-program research time having the DB2 pre-processor options appear in the listing.

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

 

Have the DB2 pre-processor print all options in effect at the time of execution -- just like COBOL and other compilers provide.

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

 

It just makes it that more difficult to track down a DB2 program problem.
