Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc. Also, why is it important for vendor to want to do this for the customer?) The limit of 10 dynamic classes restricts how we want to control job scheduling and wastes storage. PRTY SHARE was a step in the right direction, but we still have a need for single partition classes outside the balanced group. Date : (When? ASAP, 6 months, one year from now, etc) ASAP Impact : (How? How will your company's business be affected if a solution is not delivered.) We cannot effectively control job scheduling and storage management with the current 10 class limit. Storage is wasted because partition size is controlled at partition startup rather than job. Solution : (optional desired / undesired elements Note: suggest can limit vendor ability to deliver a solution) Increase the class limit from 10 to all that are available.

Detailed description of what you want changed, 400 char.limit) Currently, L281I returns: SUBLIBRARY lib.sublib CANNOT BE DELETED OR RENAMED BECAUSE IT IS NOT UNIQUELY ASSIGNED. We need an indication of where else the lib.sublib is LIBDEF'd, causing the problem. Before running the job, we go through all partitions on all machines dropping all known search chains for the lib.sublib we are working with. As a VM/VSE shop, we also drop other guest machines. Benefit : (Why? Non-technical business case description. Do not reword problem above. How do you to justify the needed change? Will it benefit your company, and the vendor and others? Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc. Also, why is it important for vendor to want to do this for the customer?) A time consuming manual search has to be done in order to track down the machine and partition that has the lib.sublib in it's active search chain. Very often, nothing shows up (via LIBLIST) in any search chains, but the message indicates otherwise. It would be helpful for the message to indicate where LIBR 'thinks' the lib.sublib is assigned. We could then resolve the problem faster. Date : (When? ASAP, 6 months, one year from now, etc) ASAP Impact : (How? How will your company's business be affected if a solution is not delivered.) This is a task (renaming a sublib) reserved for when the system is down for an upgrade of software, hence the rename. When this problem occurs, it delays bringing the system back up until the problem is resolved. As a sales/service organization, this costs money as customers drop off the line waiting to place orders. Solution : (optional desired / undesired elements Note: suggest can limit vendor ability to deliver a solution) Indicate where else the lib.sublib is assigned along with message L281I.
