  *                        definition                            *
  *                      2.Add the Endevor Element User Data to  *

  *                        dialog and Element update dialog      *

  *                        registration in FEKLOGS               *
  *                      4.ZUnit cannot handle dynamic symbol    *
  *                        references without period on          *
  *                        generating a recording JCL            *
  ****************************************************************
  1.Enhancement to provide a sample CSD LIBRARY definition for
    ZUnit, which avoids the need to update the CICS region JCL.
  2.Add the Endevor Element User Data to the IDz Endevor Element
    Properties dialog and Element update dialog
  3.Enhancement to report product registration in FEKLOGS
     * product registration
       supported products
       5655-AC6 IBM APP DLIV FND
       5755-AC5 IBM IDz EE
       5724-T07 IBM IDz
       5900-A8N IBM Wazi Code
  
       server will register as PID 5724-T07, FEL-RSED
       matching PARMLIB(IFAPRDxx) definition:
     S OWNER         NAME          FEATURE       VERSION  ID
     E IBM CORP      IBM IDZ       FEL-RSED      * .* .*  5724-T07
  4.When ZUnit generates a recording JCL from an original
    application JCL where a dynamic symbol is referenced without a
    trailing period like below,
    // SET HLQ=&SYSUID
    ...
    //XX DD DSN=&HLQ..XXX
    ZUnit fails to generate a correct reference string like below
    in a recording JCL.
    // SET HLQ=&SYSUID
    ...
    //XX DD DSN=&SYSUID.XXX
    As a workaround, if the dynamic symbol is referenced with a
    period, a working recording JCL can be generated
    // SET HLQ=&SYSUID.
    ...
    //XX DD DSN=&SYSUID..XXX
  

Problem conclusion

• 1.Sample definition provided
  2.The Endevor Element User Data has been added to the IDz
    Endevor Element Properties dialog and Element update dialog
  3.Enhancement provided
  4.ZUnit host module is updated to handle dynamic symbol
    references correctly
