IBM IMS Network Compression Facility for z/OS, 1.2

The IBM® IMS Network Compression Facility for z/OS®:

• Provides several new options for compression of 3270 data streams:
  • Compresses all repeated characters, not just spaces, nulls, asterisks, and dashes
  • Allows 3270 Field Merge, blank elimination, and elimination of non-display fields
  • Eliminates redundant 3270 Set Buffer Address (SBA) commands
• Makes installation easier by eliminating the need for the XCM address space and subsystem, and for SYS1.PARMLIB updates, except APF authorization of one data set.
• Includes a utility to convert current options to the new PROCLIB member format.
• Improves flexibility by allowing cross-MVS™ system inquiries and updates to IMS Network Compression Facility information and options.
