HourGlass IMS setup

A new HourGlass program, AGGVIMS, and its corresponding IMS transaction, is provided in HourGlass Version 6, Release 1.0. This program can be used to verify the functionality of the HourGlass support in the IMS environment, including HourGlass support for altered date and time values in the IMS IOPCB date/time fields, including the extended timestamp field in the IOPCB. This new AGGVIMS program does not replace the HGIMS program, which was used in previous HourGlass releases to create and manage date and time specifications for the IMS environment. As of the HourGlass Version 6, Release 1.0 release level, the capability to create and manage non-JCL date and time specifications in the IMS environment is provided by the HourGlass Control Center (AGGCX) application.
