The problem is an extremely messy environment. Years ago some standard IMS
database procedures were created, and people were meant to execute the
centrally stored procs, and use whatever JCL overrides they needed. Now...
18 years later, everyone their own personal version/s of the procs, and
they execute these most (not all) of the time. The test environment is a
complete mess, and no-one has a clue what's going on.

IMS version 7.1 does not force the use of the DBRC=Y parameter in the JCL,
and whilst you can code it in the centrally stored procs, that is no help
if people don't use those procs. Nor do they want anyone telling them what
they should be using...  even though their own source libraries are now in
a state of complete chaos.

So... the intention would be to write a front-end for the IMS region
controller program, rename the IBM one, and XCTL to it after extracting
various items of info. such as the PDS member name details. And with the
gathering of this information, then control can be established.
