The OP asked for a perhaps SYSPLEX-wide facility. The CF-based approach I
suggested is probably a minimal way to meet this requirement.
For those of you who have not looked at such problems in any detail itr is
perhaps appropriate to recall that SYSPLEX-wide data sharing poses significant,
non-trivial problems.
It is not neurosurgery, but It certainly cannot be done in COBOL, which,
whatever its other merits, is not a systems-implementation language.
You must write authorized code; and you need the appropriate design and testing
skills, as I made clear in my original post. If you don't have them you should
think about getting an ISV who does to do the job for you.
