Ken said, "Any chance we can see this "list" once it is finalized????", to
which I agree.
 
In the past the HP MPE Lab send a post to the HP3000 List asking members to
send in requests to be added to the next System Improvement Ballot (SIB).
The requests were then evaluated for the amount of effort required to
implement (if they could be done at all) and then the SIB would be
published. Each member of the list was given 10 votes that they could
allocate to entries on the SIB. The lab then sorted the SIB into 'highest
votes first' sequence. Starting at the top of the list, the amount of effort
for each entry was accumulated until the total had reached the amount of
effort that they had allocated to the SIB. These selected entries were then
investigated in greater depth and those that passed would be worked on for
inclusion in the next release of the operating system or as a patch.
 
The only question now is whether Cognos (Bob Deskin) would go along with
that.

I think you should allow the DESCRIPTION option on any subfile regardless of
NODICT or not for documentation purposes. Even though it will not appear in
the subfile, it is still useful.

Interesting. I've never seen this one before. I don't think we would allow
the description if it's a NODICT subfile but the dictionary certainly has a
DESCRIPTION option on the FILE and RECORD statements. I don't know how
difficult it would be to add to the subfile equivalents and the routines.
I'll add it to the list.
 
Thanks
 
Bob

Bob,
 
Continuing with your original request for enhancement requests;
 
Add a DESCRIPTION option to the SUBFILE statement within QUIZ and QTP that
could be read by QSHOW.
 
Where would you store the information? If it has a dictionary, within the
minidictionary file. If it doesn't, at the start of the file with a leading
integer value that points to the actual start of data OR do not allow this
option.
