LE: Allow TERMTHDACT option that combines UAONLY with MSG behavior, *without* the CEEDUMP clutter

Please provide an option for TERMTHDACT which provides the CICS transaction dump that UAONLY provides, along with the CESE output that MSG provides, without the copious CEEDUMP output that DUMP provides. In other words, we ONLY want the CICS trans...

LE Callable Service for RegEx

RegEx is a basic service to validate that a string is a regular expression. It's been implemented in Java, C, C#, perl, and many others. It's used in ISPF. It even has a Wikipedia entry. It's not available in COBOL. Take the best implementation, e...

Print LE conforming assembler Stack frame storage in CEEDUMP

First I am not sure why LE Stack frame storage is considered language dependent and requires the language to format and print for CEEDUMP. Maybe it is assumed that there will be symbolic data available to match the fields with labels. The LE entry...

LE should give an error for an attempt to start a new enclave in a single-enclave environment

An LE environment that is set up for a single enclave only will not support an attempt to start a second enclave. Currently, if this is attempted in COBOL, the result is a S0C1 in CEEBPIRA. An APAR is open that will change this to be a U4093-92 ab...

Allow modification of CEEDUMP naming convention via parms

Currently, there is no means to change the CEEDUMP naming convention. The LE code uses /path/CEEDUMP.date.time.PID or /path/FNAME.date.time.PID, which may not match the convention a customer uses for other trace and dumps in Java. Providing such a...

Allow disposition to be specified on fopen

DISP=SHR cannot be set when fopening a file in write mode. In read mode it defaults to DISP=SHR. If the file is a PDS(E) member, this locks out the whole PDS(E) so that no-one can browse the other members. If you use a DD Card, then you can specif...

PTHREAD library always emit error when SYSIN comes from SYSIN dataset and unconditionally opens SYSOUT

When our C++ application code make the first thread creation call to pthread_create() the language environment implementation unconditionally goes and opens the SYSIN and SYSOUT DDnames. Our application can, in most circumstances, already be readi...
