gsk_decode_certificate_extension to support "comment" certificate extension

It would be nice if function, gsk_decode_certificate_extension (see: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0?topic=reference-gsk-decode-certificate-extension ) supported the "comment" extension (OID: 2.16.840.1.113730.1.13), if for no other reason t...

HOLDUNTL a relative date

When SCHEDULE HOLDUNTL has a date specified it requires an absolute date (MM/DD/YY or YYYY/DDDD). This request would allow a relative day: ({[ 'HH:MM' ] , [ '+N'' ]}), where N is the number of days after the submission to which the job will be hel...

Increase the CRL field length in TR34 ICSF services

The CRL field length in TR34 ICSF services CSNDT34B and CSNDT34D are defined with only 3500 bytes. If the CA sends a CRL more than 3500 bytes then the services will fail resulting in ATMs going out of service.

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...

Provide a mechanism to prevent users from changing DCB for existing datasets

Please provide some mechanism to prevent an end user from modifying DCB information for an existing dataset. The mechanism to be used could be a parameter, perhaps in IGDSMSxx in PARMLIB, perhaps a RACF FACILITY class call. I leave that up to you....
