PK34235: ISSUE TYPE 1 AND TYPE 2 IMS COMMANDS FROM THE SAME PANEL THAT THAT DISPLAYS THE IMS LOG

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• IMS SM needs to be able to issue IMS Commands (TYPE 1 and
  TYPE 2) from the same panel that are used to display the IMS
  log. Flipping back and forth between ISPF screens can be time
  consuming and cause delays. Also, the IMS log needs to be
  updated dynamically as IMS commands are issued. This APAR is
  delivering new function as a result of FITS requirements
  MR0918063127 and MR0928062058.
