Title: (Paraphrase problem in a single statement)Support for "in source" (PROCESS) pre-compile options.

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

 

With COBOL and CICS you can inline compile/pre-compile options in source code with the PROCESS or CBL statements.  (eg "PROCESS XOPTS(CICS,SP)").  DB2/VSE should support something similar.

Requested Completion Date: (When? Examples: 3 months, 1 year, Next Release) 6 months

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?)

 

Will allow users to place 'non-standard' pre-compile options directly in source code, rather than in JCL or in the preprocessor option member.  The latter two are more 'global', pertaining to all pre-compiles that use the same JCL, while an in-source specified option would pertain only to that one program.

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?)
