z/OSMF Workload Management - limited interaction within sysplex boundaries

Change variable substitution of 'location of file template' at step time instead of workflow creation time.

Allow software instances to have more than one workflow file

Even IBM written workflow (e.g. zCX) do have multiple files to have a separation between the workflow itself and the JCL or REXX templates. Like that, the workflow is much more maintainable compared to using inline templates. However when creating...

Ability to set the max LRECL for our site of have it contingent on the type of step

We've been tripped up by this setting quite a bit when creating our own workflows. Usually (almost always) when we perform a step that is JCL, we need the max LRECL to be 80 (the default is 1024). Unless you know that will be a problem when run yo...

Ability to disable the default jobcard in z/OSMF or have it as conditionally added if one isn't found in the JCL.
