Add SORT command on panels to help in avoiding problems for apar OA63553

In large configuration with many LCU defined on few boxes there is the possibility to misconfigure HCD and give to one physical LCU different definitions that could leave to problems described by OA63553. Having the ability to sort by CUADD on panel CBDPCUF0 (Control Unit list) could help in avoiding the misconfiguration

    Hello Rina,

    many thanks for helping us to improve HCD.

    We understand the overall intention of your proposed requirement to sort rows inside the HCD panels. It is unfortunate that this functionality was not planned for from the beginning (not in any of the HCD panels)."

    Although this is a useful enhancement to HCD it is unlikely to be given high enough priority to be placed into our product plan. We will decline your requirement.


    Maybe this is a circumvention:
    HCD offers the functionality to save the data of a HCD list panels into a data set (see HCD User's Guide, chapter 10 / How to print list panels). You can use this data set to sort the rows with any tools you know.


    Kind regards,
    Your HCD Team
