Title: (Paraphrase problem in a single statement)Fix messy SHOW LOCK console displays

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

 

The output from SHOW LOCK USER and SHOW LOCK DBSPACE wraps when displayed on the console (also in hardcopy file) making it difficult to read.

                                                                                            

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)

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?)

 

The output from most of the SHOW LOCK console commands wraps, requiring twice as many lines to display as actually necessary. The output would be much more readable if the lines did not wrap.

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

 

By shortening the display by a few characters, you could easily fix the output, preventing the unnecessary line-wrapping.

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

 

Will help DBAs do their job better. Requires less traffic to the console. Takes up less space in the hardcopy file.
