CSKL Listener Modification

IBM CSKL listener should be enhanced:

1) Standard Type CSKL Listener:

What Standard Type CSKL Listener has:
No peek data option, it erases first 50 bytes of the client data portion. Any transaction can be started by the standard listener because it is reading first 4 bytes of the data.

What expected from IBM CSKL Standard Type Listener:
Available to use peek data option.

2) Enhanced Type CSKL Listener:

What Enhanced Type CSKL Listener has:
Peek data option is available. It only starts
predefined one transaction which is given in the Ezaconfig definition.

What expected from CSKL Enhanced Listener: peek data option remains available. It should start every transaction with reading the first 4 bytes of the client data ( like standard listener does now.. )

    Hello,

    I want to correct one thing. I said:
    ===========
    Our clients operate different transactions. The transaction code is inside the client output data and located 5-8 bytes of the data portion.
    Therefore, listener should start the transaction which is sent by the client.
    ===========

    But the transaction code location is first 4 bytes of the data portion.
    ( NOT 5 -8 bytes)

    Regards
