JES2 - Improve reaction to PROCLIB moves and Open/Close

In the above IBM Case we described a problem on one of our customer's system, whereby a PROC(00) data set was moved by the customer to a new volume and the catalogue entry adapted (DELETE & DEFINE NONVSAM). We do realise this is not a good thing to do. We have NODSI defined in the PPT.

Two weeks later one of the four systems in the JESplex suffered JCL errors from all submitted tasks, the other three were still running ok.

    The $TPROCLIB command without any parameters resolves issues like that. But I agree that JES2 should be able to react on such a situation by itself and only issue a message when it can not clear the situation on its own.
    And yes, a frequent check that alerts someone before jobs start failing, would be helpful.
