Enhance the HELP Panels in ISMF for OBJECTS

When setting up OAM Objects in ISMF for the first time, I found the HELP panels lacking in detail. They only provide a brief description that uses the name GROUP00.

After setting up OAM and working with it for a few weeks, I was able to see that GROUP00 was an example and not the way it had to be coded.

The Help panels could be enhanced to use phrase like -

So long as the DB2 Table and the ISMF OBJECT name are the same, this can be called anything.

GROUP00 is an example of a name. It does not have to be called that, it can fit a naming standard so long as the DB2 table and the OBJECT name match

Provide the identification of a Manual where more comprehensive details can be found.

    IBM considers this to be a valid requirement, but due to the other requirements that OAM has, this requirement is is not likely to be given high enough priority to be placed into the product plan. If this is still required, please open a new requirement. We will however, consider this in the future when we are updating ISMF for object processing.

    IBM agrees that the ISMF help panels (used for OAM's object support) should be reviewed for changes/clarity.
