  1.1
  

Problem conclusion

• The Accelerate capability of ICEZ includes these changes
  and improvements:
  - COBOL applications running under CICS are now supported for
  the Identify and Optimize tasks
  - IBM Open Enterprise SDK for Python version support expanded
  from 3.12 to also include 3.13 and 3.14
  - The STAGE=NO started task option is no longer required when
  running Identify or Optimize tasks on z/OS 3.1
  - The status subcommand now provides detailed information on
  when tasks started and ended, plus it displays a task history
  for already completed tasks.
  - When an abend is detected during identification or
  optimization then Accelerate started task is cleanly terminated
  with message number BZIM1033S instead of continuing with little
  or no functionality.
  - Set PPA4 and PPA2 bits in the optimized program modules to
  indicate optimization by Accelerate
