CPU accounting information reported as 0 in IIB, due to limitation in clock() function.

We run IBM Integration Bus on z/OS and use the accounting feature of the product. We use it for distributing the costs internally based on the usage for different message flows.
The message flow that consumes the most CPU is reported as 0 CPU consumption from time to time due to a limitation in the clock function in z/OS. We need an enhancement so a 0 value is not reported for our top CPU spender.

    This item is a valid requirement but unlikely to be given high enough priority to be placed into the product plan. If this requirement is high value, please re-open it, or open a new requirement.
