Detailed
Problem Description: (Description of what you want changed - 400 character entry limit)
It has occurred that an
IDCAMS DEFINE CLUSTER user supplied parameter has been overridden which has

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 time investigating why a LISTCAT
of a CLUSTER does not match the supplied definition and to prevent a possible
performance problem being promoted into production.
Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a
vendors ability to deliver a solution)
Have IDCAMS print a message when a user
supplied parameter is overridden and why. Also, set a RC other than 0 (maybe
1).
Impact: (Optional) (How
will your company’s business be affected if a solution is not delivered?)
Company Name: Systems & Communications Sciences, Inc. contracted to the State of
New Hampshire
