Hello IMS Tools Community members,
I'd like to share the progress and enhancements we delivered in Database Management Solutions for IMS for z/OS 20 in the last quarter.
Enhanced Extract Function with Segment Offset Support
We are pleased to announce the expansion of EXTRACT function in the Database Organizer (DBO) to include segment offset support in the CONDITION control statement. This enhancement allows users to define search conditions based on segment data at specific offsets, simplifying data extraction and extending its capabilities beyond field-based extractions. The PTF delivered for this enhancement is LU09682.
Enhanced Accuracy in ISV SCRT Reporting
The ISV Sub-Capacity Reporting Tool (SCRT) has been enhanced to display the correct modification level in the PTF maintenance Level Set version string. This enhancement improves transparency of product versions in customer environments. The PTFs delivered for this enhancement are LU10370 through LU10373.
IMS 15.4 Support
In keeping with our commitment to staying up-to-date with the latest version of the DBMS, we are pleased to announce that Version 20.0 of the Database Management Solutions for IMS for z/OS now supports IBM IMS 15.4.
For up-to-date release notes, see New Features in our TechDocs documentation.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further information.
