New Features and Enhancements
1. Browse and Edit Using 64-bit Memory
2. Compare
3. 3.6 Multi-file Search
19
• History– Customers requested method for editing very large files
– Technology limitations prevented files from being read into memory
– Created WINDOWING that allowed editing of these files
• Primary and Line commands restricted
• Large file access of ESDS, RRDS and PDS files was not supported
• Present– Customers requested that we take advantage of new
technology changes
– 16.03 uses above bar memory by using 64-bit memory
– Primary and Line commands are no longer restricted
– Large file access of ESDS, RRDS and PDS files is supported

• IBM Health Checker for z/OS
– Provides foundation to help simplify and automate identification of potential configuration problems before they have an impact
– Consists of:
• Framework managing scheduling and running of checks
• Individual health checks identify what’s to be checked
– Framework available as base function starting with z/OS V1.7
• Checks are provided separately and independently of framework and support checks written by IBM, independent software vendors (ISVs) and users
IBM Health Checker for z/OS Background
83
• Compuware added Health Checks for IBM’s Health Checker for z/OS across mainframe product families
• Over time additional health checks will be added

• A batch process to:
– Manipulate IMS data via Change, Insert or Delete commands against database segments in single job
– Print selected segment data in either unformatted or formatted mode using COBOL or PL/I layouts (prints are either complete segments or individual fields)
– Count segment occurrences with or without comprehensive selection capabilities
– Extract qualified segment key values during count processing
