    SMS SCDS construct comparison tool

    With the heavy focus on cyber resiliency, we are looking for a tool to compare SMS constructs between SCDSs--or between the active configuration and a new SCDS. We have excellent testing tools for ACS source code (with test cases and NaviQuest), b...

    ISMF Last Date/Time Modified field updated incorrectly

    Although SMS SCDS does not contain any Scratch Threshold values, the Last Date/Time Modified field is updated when changing a Scratch Threshold value. My customer claims that the Last Date/Time Modified field shouldn't be updated if the SMS SCDS i...

    64-bit latch services support AMODE(64) but not RMODE(64). The irony of this is obvious.

    This support, which is trivial, should have been done as soon as RMODE(64) was supported.

    GRSTRACE LATCH NOLATCH ENQ NOENQ

    Many times users of GRSTRACE want to report ENQ events only so a new parameter LATCH|NOLATCH with NOLATCH ideally being the Default would execute the function much faster. Perhaps for LATCH analysis ENQ|NOENQ with ENQ the ideal default would be eq...
