Thanks, KB, for the reference.  We also mentioned a SHARE blog post from Marna 
Walle on June 2018, where she gives a link to an IBM site that provides a list 
of all New Function APARs.  The list is also available in csv format.  So, I 
think it would be fairly simply to create control statements from the 
spreadsheet.  This has been available for almost five years now, so everyone 
should have the link.  (See our Tuning Letter 2016 No. 3, page 94.)  Just 
remember that it's a very long list, which is why we summarize them every 
quarter.

IBM site for New Function APARs - https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/665131

Thanks to Marna and the developers for providing this site in response to a 
SHARE requirement that we requested.

Subject: Re: Identifying "New Function" APARs

You'll find most of what's new in these 3 places -

1. Marna Walle's sesssions about v2r4 in SHARE, CMG, GSE, TechDocs as 
applicable.

2. NewEra - http://www.newera-info.com/eBooks.html
The form for accessing the PDF is broken, but I'm sure you can contact them & 
find out.

3. v2r4 coverage in Cheryl Watson's newsletter(s)



PS: TechDocs is basically beyond useless now. The search function might as well 
be a picture of a stone.
We're losing access to so much great content because of someone's ego.
